          Adjust the steering linkage...what is rubbing is the knuckle so loosen the bolt on it and move the knuckle forward till it doesn't hit and tighten the bolt down.

            You may also have to grind down the side of the knuckle with a dremel.

              I just grinded down the fat part of the knuckles till they didnt rub anymore. I would be careful though, if you go to far you could severly weeken your steering shaft.

                I grinded down mine first before I knew I could adjust it...so maybe a combination of both like I did will help.
