I removed the steering stops off my Toy today. It stopped all that crummy sounds i was getting when i turn the wheels a bit deep. This shouldn't hurt anything should it?

 

Your idler arm and pitman arm are going to rub, depending how big your tires are. They may rub first.

 

I didnt notice any rubbing, I have 235/75/15's on it, it all looked ok, i just wanted to see what everyone else thought

 

Well, if you hear any grinding you'll know what it is. Just don't turn too hard.

 

Thanks for your input, I will double check it in the morning.

 

A little grease and my stops are dead silent... Seems a little drastic to cut them off imo

 

ive thought of cutting them off, but im just gonna put some grease on them, cuz i dont wanna screw anything up by overturning the wheel

 

i dunno how it is in your state but in va the part of inspection that usually gets guys with lifted trucks and larger tires is that the wheels have to turn completely both ways til they hit the stops without rubbing anywhere to pass. they may gig you on that, i dunno

 

Post some pics, I've never heard of anybody cutting em off before.

Like thook said, you'll have problems with your idler and pitman if you turn too sharp but other than that I can't see any problems...other than the inspection thing.

Easier to just lube the stops. As for no stops now, will rub and overextend your axel joints.
