New Steering Gear, Tires Rub
After replacing my 98 Durango steering gear, the front of the front tires rub on the frame when turning (right tire rubs on the frame when turning a sharp left, and vice versa). It's like the new steering gear allows more steering "travel left and right.
Original rims, original size tires, so they're not the issue. I looked in the OEM repair manual and I see any adjustment that affects the turning stop points. Any help is appreciated.

The knuckles should be what limits travel, not the gear. Mine rubbed even with oem 31x10.5r15. solution is don't hold it at full lock. It's bad for the whole steering system anyway.

Only the steering gear was changed. Before the change - no rub. There appears to be no adjustment for left/right turn travel stops.
so since the steering knuckles haven't changed, then what else could be the cause?
