Slowly but surely putting my (not so) recently aquired baja back into a semi-roadworthy state, Road testing it, I hear a strange noise coming from the front at full lock, checking it while stationary revealed the following.

Pictures are of the passenger side front wheel.

Straight Ahead.;


Hard right;



Is there a bump-stop or something of the sort missing, I've had very limited experience with beetle suspension, so any help/advice given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ride it-Break it-Replace it....works for me

the missisng bump stop wont stop the wheel from hitting the arm

There should be 'stops' near your steering box

Fit rubber bump stops,(it's missing from that side) and adjust the stops at the steering box to not allow the tyre to contact the suspension at full lock, both ways.

could this be caused by the wrong rims?, I'll check the stops by the steering box tommorow, never even occured to me to look there, thanks!.

if what shailulud doesnt work (it should) try adjusting the nut that holds the wheel turn it till it rubs then back off a 16th or so

i wasnt aware that king and link beams + steering boxes had steering stops? there doesnt appear to be any on my car?

they came in on 68
is it just when yoiu turn right
you can adjust your steering rods
maybe its out of centre
