Any ideas why the steering suspension is almost touching the prop shaft?  I had to remove the prop shaft to get the U joint fixed.  The steering suspension was removed for me by a friend and I think he removed the suspension in order to gain access.  I put the prop shaft back and I noticed how close it is to the shaft. i'm not sure how we got here.  The 2 bolts holding it have no room for adjustment.  Does that mean I need to remove the ball joint and re-adjust it to get it out of the way.  I won't dare drive it but when I move I think I can hear some noise.

Re: Steering suspension rubbing prop shaft

Just wondering if this may have been caused by the fact that the bearings were replaced on both sides and everything put back but if there was extra space etc sure that should only affect the caliper and not the tie rod ends as there is no room for any movement between both hubs.  Does that make sense?
