steering problem

i bodydropped my truck 3.5 inches welded it all up and started putting everything back together. my probem is that my steering nuckle hits my upper control arm when i turn i notched the upper control arm out a little bit but but its still hitting. anyone have this problem and how did you fix it????

yeah i had a problem with that when i dropped mine four inches. what i did was to take and raise the steering shaft on the fire wall and in the cab about an inch. what i had to do was to take out the whole steerin system cut the bracket in half and raise it up one inch. then shaft where it bolts to the dash, i had to grind off the bolt tabs and move it up the collum . i will try and get some pics. it is hard to explain but easy to do. i think i saw a toyota that did this and used the idea he had. sorry probally hard to understand.

so this must be something pretty normal on bigger bodydrops on mazdas

bump

get some steering U joints off a truck or car with the same size shaft. most Mazda cars have the same size shaft and so do most toyotas. front wheel drive cars have these.

so i just add a u joint and that will fix it???
