Yeah I saw the pics. I don't have any clearance issues from those angles as well...but my issue is from underneath the SS at the track bar bolt head. It's hard to see from your pics how close your SS is to that bolt with the SS fully compressed. I'll try to post a pic of the issue later tonight.

Here's a pic of mine to show where the rubbing is occurring. This is fully turned right.

Yes...it's leaking. I may just go back to my OEM SS.

According to the Woods install instructions there should be 1/8" - 1/4" of rod exposed when the wheel is fully turned to the passenger side. I think I have that right. I also have my u-clamps rotated such that the SS will not contact anything during suspension travel .. again according to the instructions. May this bracket is just not compatible with the TF SS ???

maybe it isn't. i def have more than 1/8 to 1/4". mine is prob an inch or a lil more. i honsetly havent noticed it or a problem till i saw your pic. not sure if i should move mine or leave it.
it turns fully.. idk. what do u think?
urs looks like a 1/16". i think they mean the shiny part when they give the measurements.. i could be totally wrong, but if u put urs like mine i guarantee it wont hit!

Default Adjusted

I didn't follow woods instructions and made the "shortened" damper with aboUt 3/4" exposed rod (long enough so it didn't rub). Before I installed the damper I pulled it to "max" length and measured (think rod exposed was 6-3/4??). That way I knew when I turned left to right what the max rod exposure was.

I may try the same thing before I revert to the OEM SS.
