are you sure it's the frame it's rubbing? (i.e. is it visible rubbing
there, or just audible?) It's not uncommon for a wheel to rub on a flexible
brake hose on full lock - check this out, as they can rub through with
obvious potential disastrous results! They shouldn't contact anything solid
though - there is a lock-stop built into the king-pin which the stub axle
contacts before anything else, unless you have ultra wide wheels!
The other thing to note, once you've sorted the rubbing thing, is that if
it turns more in one direction, both tie rods might need adjusting to the
same length, as the steering rack is obviously not central when the wheels
are pointed straight ahead - this will give rise to bump-steer type
effects.
