So i have the pbm lca/tension rod combo as well as z33 inner tie rods with spl outer, and at full lock my outer tie rods are hitting the control arms.

The controls do have bump stops, but the tie rods don't even make contact with them.

The car is lifted off of the ground, but i don't think the weight of the vehicle on the suspension will change the fact they're making contact..??

Also, the tie rods aren't "straight" relative to the rack. They slightly come towards the rear of the car, if that makes sense.

looks like you have a stock knuckle with arms designed for modded knuckles. the tie rod pickup is not in the same location so the bump-stops wont hit
