Kraton So damn frustrated!

Bro it’s very hard to tell without the wheels on, a top down completely CENTERED shot, the servo at neutral and the rig on the ground......even then it may be hard to tell from pictures but we can get a good idea of where it lies.

Regarding your steering issues.....
Check to make sure you don’t have any steering binding in the system by disconnecting the servo arm from the Ackerman and running the steering travel by hand.

Incorrect. The upper arm pins are in the proper position. This whole issue/problem was solved on the first response to the OP.

Yes, I figured it all out guys from a previous post on the forum actually things just had to be adjusted properly! But thank you all for the quick responses I appreciate all the help!

Rig looks good man!
video the conflicting parts if you can.

Make sure you adjust the droop limit thingy too. I think that’s what it’s called. It’s better to lose some ground clearance than to have the wheel drop down as far as they can. If they drop down too low , you will pop out the dogbone .

Yes sir, and it feels good now! I figured out the issue it was the same thing, but a screw that was not in all the way it is good NOW FLAWLESS! Thank you all for the help! More upgrades coming soon, Vitavon or GPM Bulkheads, Front and Rear Knuckles, Bearing Kit, Stainless Steel Screw Kit, Light Bar, Diff Cases All 3, All 3 Diff Lockers, SWB Chassis! Oh boy I can't wait

Stainless steel screws are too soft and a waste of money and time imo

First off why do you have so many shims on your left a-arm? I don't run any shims on those arms for my KRATON and Notorious.
