My front tires didn't rub when I turned sharp before I swapped my steering rack and tie rod ends. And after I installed the rack and tie rod ends it rubbed when turned to full lock either direction. I thought maybe getting the alignment done would fix it but it's the same. Not worse, but it rubs. A full right turn makes a lot more noise and has a "bump" as if it's turning through something. Any ideas why fixing the steering rack would make my tires rub?
 
I'll answer my own question. Can you see the missing "part"?

I'm assuming that there's something special about the bolt (travel stop?).
 
Anyone know the size of the knuckle stop bolt? I've got some ordered from Onur (Beno) but I'm headed to NM Saturday or Sunday and I'd rather have something in there than nothing. Now wheeling on this trip...

I know it's not M12. Onur thought M14x1 or M14x1.5
