4 inch lift problem. Help asap!

[BLKWDW]

Hey lads i need some help. i recently installed a 4 inch suspension stuff lift in my gq and am now having problems with the steering arm hitting the panhard rod bolt to the point where it has gouged it out. i just had it at a suspension place to get a wheel alignment when they noticed it. They say the diff is out of alignment. Was told to get caster correction bushes to correct it but i bought drop boxes in the kit and thought these were supposed to adjust it.

Whats wrong with it as i need it ready buy next weekend to go away for xmas. I was supposed to take it out this weekend to sort out any other problems i may get from it but didnt even make it that far.

do you have drop boxes?
do you have radius arm spacers?

Can you get a photo from the front showing it all sitting in situ?

Yes i have drop boxes and no i dont have radius arm spacers. Mine is hitting like that under normal driving u can also see the coils arnt straight.

Can i see a side pic of your Drop Boxes please mate and also a pic of the damage on the back of the drag link where that gouge was done?

Your springs have got a fair bit of bend in them and it seems like the setup is not right. It is like you have fitted radius arm spacers AND Drop Boxes?? As asked above. I note that this is not so but something is amiss.

That damage could only be happening at Full Lock?? Surely?? That must be when you have full lock and the swivel hub is close and the swivel hub / Drag link mount is hitting??? Must be as i cant imagine anything else getting close?? It is certainly not being caused in a straight line as the drag link passes the panard of your steering dampener would be destroyed! its between these two elements.

Do you have the steering lock limiting nuts still in the back of your swivel hubs?

where are you located mate?

Note also you should turn your steering dampener around as it will fill with water and sand and mud and stuff!!!

Labelled "Lock Nut" in the bottom pic. That is the steering lock limiter.
