I work at a tire shop part-time and the other day, a guy brought in his Mach 1. Aside from the fact that I acted like a little girl when I saw it, I took advantage of having a look under it when it was pulled in to check for the usual mods etc. He had a UPR K-member, A arms, and coil overs. Here's the weird part. When I went to pull it out I noticed that at about 3/4 of full left or right steering travel, the wheel got hard to turn and it felt as though there was some serious binding (made some noises as well). What could cause this? He came in for 2 fronts and the olds were worn very evenly. It was significantly lowered, but not slammed. The reason I ask is because I'm still wanting to do a K member, A arms, coil overs, all steering upgrades, etc etc and now I'm wondering if there's something he missed or I missed that needs to be taken note of. Thoughts?
