Default CVDs rub on full steering throw

I love the excellent steering throw on the AX10, but I have to dial some out because of the CVD joint in the wheels. With full EPA the steering arm will nearly contact the axle housing, but when turned that far I hear a clicking in the dogbone connection. Looking closely at it while under low throttle, the joint will bulge out slightly, so it seems like it's too sharp of an angle.

Is there a fix for this, or do I need to deal with a reduced steering throw? The angle is still excellent, but I have clearance everywhere else to get more.

Just wondering, what brand of CVD's are you running?

Either stock dogbone/axle or CVD's will have a max steering radius. Past that point and things will start to bind.

Sounds like you have stock components? Not CVD's? Got pics?

It sounds like you have the stock dog bones and stubs, for now just set your EPAs.
you can bend your steering rod so it wouldn't hit the pumpkin. but I would wait until you got CVD's. It sounds like you have the stock dog bones and stubs, for now just set your EPAs.

Sorry, wrong terminology on my part. They are the stock dogbones, I was calling them CVDs. So that angle limit is normal on the stock equipment?
