Hot Rods opinions on dropped steering arms

So I just installed a dropped 32 axle in my roadster---40 Ford spindles-- and as expected had interference with axle and steering arms due to the drop. I read as many suggestions as to how to drop the arms as I could find. I dropped them today---pretty straight forward and would just like to draw on the group's expertise . Straight ahead the backing plates are +/- 12' from the frame horns. In full lock, it goes to 15 1/4 on the right and 15 1/2 on the left. I can do some more heating and bending to even it up but with wheels on, it looks like enough turn to handle most driving situations. But I recall a friend with a T bucket who needed a parking lot to make a U-turn and do not want to wind up with that problem. Ultimately I will install a stop to prevent spindle /axle contact as well as tires rubbing on the wishbones. Enough--keep bending???? Thanks to all----John

 

Install the axle spindle stop and tires first. Then you can tell if you need more bend. Without them you are bending blind.

 

Check the angle on the steering arms, as well as the drop.

 

The stock Ford spindle stops should be the deciding factor to see if you have enough clearance.

 

Yes---installed them this morning and found the arms hit the axle with 1/8" clearance to the stop on one side and 1/16 on the other. Easy to remedy. Thanks to all who posted and PMed me on this topic---John
