just adjust the steering stop on that wheel slightly until it stops rubing

Yep...plus check the steering stop bolt is still there, they are known to come loose and fall out. If so a good hex bolt will work as replacement with a locking nut for adjustment.

Oh sweet cheers guys thats awesome now to attack the dreaded long bolt on the thermostat, the water temp needle is only just above the cold mark thermostat must be stuck open hope that's the only problem and pray to the nissan gods the long bolt comes out as one piece wish me luck

I found on mine with 35s they are just to fat and need a different off set rim to move the whole tyre/wheel thing out a bit.

I've got -22 offset rims and its only hitting on the drivers side had a look for the little stoppers but can't see them or weather there was any there in the first place

Give the head of the bolt a few good hits with a small hammer, if you cant get a clean hit on the head of the bolt, use a pin punch, this will usually 'shock' the threads and loosen the rust and crap etc

Cool thanks for that it worked a treat massive and the truck works mint with a new thermostat, Now to replace panhard bushs then the truck is ready for hammering some mud
