Re: Turning radius after front D60 upgrade
Thanks guys. I moved the steering arm to the hole closer to the knuckle as Blake suggested. That did the trick. Still not 'awesome like a Volvo' turning radius but acceptable. As kind of a bonus, it moved the arm away from the sway bar mount enough that I don't think it will hit it.

Good to hear. Next option if you want more is to go with a stock pitman arm.

Re: Turning radius after front D60 upgrade
IMHO you need to address the clearance issue. If not, you will end up breaking your high steer arm/knuckle/tie rod/etc one day on the trail.
Until you fix this issue, I recommend you either don't 'wheel, or you get all new steering parts, mock 'em up and carry 'em as a spare (I do this anyway...)
