| Summary of Issue | Is a vehicle OOS when the tire touches the drag link? |
| Justification or Need | A company installed larger front tires on the front axle of the vehicle. Inspection of it revealed that a full left turn causes light contact between the tire and the drag link. This results in shiny surface on that linkage. Examination revealed this condition was only likely to occur at slow speeds and there were no other problems detected. |
| Request for Action | Should this be an OOS condition? |
