So anyways got the clutch in got it around the block and it feels like the car is being pushed back while on the gas? Normal idk but I'm sure its not.... and then the 4WS light came on? Why? Does it come on because my passenger shock is bad?

Fill me in 1309 is alive but only 97% help me finish it.

your post is confusing, but the clutch nor the shock have anything to do with the steering. Check your fluid level for that. As far as "pushed back"?, do you mean it feels like it's dragging?

The 4WS light is just a simple fluid level warning on the power steering resevoir. Do as 14u2nV suggests and it will go away.

Sorry kenny, uhm well when I turn my shocks turn with the tires.... shouldn't they stay in place and only the contol arm move the tires?....... yes it feels like its dragging, if I give it it gas of course it goes away, but then drags down again when off. clutch is Clutch Master fx100

The front struts are clamped directly to the spindle/hub assembly. It will pivot with the hub when the tie rod is pushed or pulled. The top bearing plate has a bearing that allows the strut to spin.

If you take the axle out of the front hub, drop the tie rod, and remove the brake caliper, the whole hub/strut assembly should swivel freely suspended between the top bearing plate and bottom ball joint..

Sounds like the top bearing plate is bad. I have never seen a strut hit the inner fender well.

Got any clearance pics?

Are you having issues with the driverside axle? There is a inner shaft and an out shaft. The inner shaft has a bearing and bracket that bolts to the side of the block. Make sure those two bolts are good and tight. Also make sure that bearing is not shot.
