Tie rod installation on FIA car
I installed the tie rods but when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or left the respective brake caliper bleeder comes in contact with the lower A arm. Does that mean I need to shorten (screw in each tie rod more)? Any tips would be appreciated. I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left then right and then centered it. Then I positioned the rotors straight ahead and connected the tie rods. Thanks.

Could the calipers be backwards left to right? The bleeder goes to the top to get the air out.

Yup. Sounds like the calipers are upside down (interchanged left-to-right).
And don't forget to do a final toe-in check once the car gets on the ground.

I have the Stainless Steel Brakes Corp. (SSBC) Force Ten calipers which for some reason have bleeders on the top and bottom. I spoke to Doug today.. I have to insert the rubber stop and possibly remove the bottom bleeder and install a plug.
