I recently dropped my subframe for some maintenance. I go to test the car and it does only one full rotation to the left then it stops allowing me to turn. While the right it can go the full 2 rotations.

Any ideas or things I can check, would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have adjustable drop links on the front anti-roll bar ?

Check that the ARB isn’t in the way of the left hand track rod end, which can happen especially if the car is lowered, and adjust the drop link if needs be.

Car is on factory suspension but I will check if the ARB is in the way. Thank you for the response.

Is it possible the streering column is on a way different spline resulting in this issue?

How many rotations did you have before. If total is 4 something maybe in the way. If total is 3 sounds like the steering rack is adjusted before connecting back to the column.

I believe it was 3, how do I go about adjusting the steering rack.

Thank you

Could be hard to do with the rack on the subframe. You can go by feeling and try with someone holding the steering wheel.

Yup saw that video and feared of dropping my subframe again car is currently with the family mechanic if he can’t straighten it out I guess I just drop it again.

Thank you!
