Steering Turnbuckle Help.

Hi all, Just one more little question regards to the RC12L4.

I mount the servo as stated in the instruction manual at the tilted position. Everytime the steering servo goes to its full steering throw, one of the steering turn buckle will get tucked underneath the upper arm. (eg, full right throw, the left steering buckle tucks under the left upper arm or vice versa.)

Its okay when the car is standing still on the setup board, nothing is really hitting or binding, but im worried about when the car is cornering at full speed, if the springs are compressed, then the steering turnbuckle will definitely bind with the upper arm.

Any solutions to help with this problem? I have mounted the servo as back as possible.

Thanks for all those who helped with my axle not turning smoothly problem, it turned out to be worn bearings... never realised until put in brand new bearings and got shocked at how smooth the new bearings actually are...
