1303 Lowering problem/control arms

Have a late 75 1303.

Installed lowered struts.
Now lower control arms will bottom out on rack and pinion mount if really pressed hard.
Also, tie rods from rack and pinion now dont have enough adjustment.
Sway bar seems to be twisting lower contrtol arms too.
Anyone been through theese issues ?
Thanks in advance
David

I wil recomend that you install a lowering swaybar too. to stop the twist.
They are made with a different angle.

Hi

Have you got the swaybar up the correct way, silly question but many people get it wrong. You can also fit some blocks under the front sway bar mount to lower the front of the bar, my alignment guy said that it would also help with anti dive when I did it.
