I know the technical name wouldn't be a "bump stop"... That's why they were in quotes and I said not sure if thats what they are called, BUT!! you guys got the message of what I was talking about. Sorry for the possible incorrect terminology. The reason of thinking the leveling kit would've caused it is cause I'm thinking the mild off roading I've done with the wheels cranked with a combination of the suspension going up and down might be a bad combo for those little..."anti-over turning steering knuckle flux capacitor relocater death star bump stopperouneous device" AOTSKFCRDSBSD for short.

I agree. Hard to replace the flux capacitor too hahahhaa.

I'm going to take a better look but the level is all I can think of. I'm not sure if it's allowing the steering to overextend or not.

Main thing is though, it's happened to me too. I searched for this issue then saw your post.

I would imagine given what you have experienced with your turning capacitor of flux fusion mahbob, you need new lower control arms. 1a auto has them at an awesome price point

I hope my flux capacitors don't break off like yours did, but I will be paying a little closer attention to mine now.

Now that we are all through the proper naming, is this a common issue with the leveling kits? Would be nice if a few of the non-leveled guys out there would check their lower control arm "steering stop bump fluxers" to see if they are having the same issue.
