Tie rod scraping wheel on full lock.
Just as the title says. On full lock each way the outer tie rod scrapes against the edge of the wheel.
A little background. I just replaced the rack end bushing, along with the inner and outer tie rods. All the parts were identical in size to the ones being replaced. I don't think it was doing this before the alignment, but I have no way to be sure. I am wondering if I need to do a little more adjustment on the steering gearbox?

H&R springs
Integra Swirl rims (15X7??)
WTF?

Which way do the curved ends go? I only ask because today I found a radially groove being dug into my rim and I have no idea where it came from and this fits the diagnosis.

Well, I see a big L on it, so I'm assuming I did it correct

That is just what I DIDN'T want to hear.
This is how I feel now.
I don't know how the hell I did that? Just when I thought I was able to function on only 6 beers. I think Tecate pwn3d me that day.

Tie rod scraping wheel on full lock. (schueytenten)
Just got a chance to fix the problem. Although I deserve the hammer to the head, one was marked L, and the other was marked L1. So I put the L1 on the left and didn't even look at the other one as I screwed it on. Leave it to autozone to screw up tie rods too.
All better now. Thanks guys.
