Default Steering knuckle rubbing on headers.

I've noticed when I turn my steering wheel to the left I feel a slight jolt in the steering wheel. I looked under the hood yesterday and it appears that my steering knuckle is rubbing on the drivers side header. I haven't had a chance to actually see it happen. I don't have anyone around me at the time to turn the wheel as I watch. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had this same exact issue. My problem was my drivers side motor mount had melted from the heat and dropped the motor down on that side low enough to rub on the knuckle.

I'll take a look as soon as I get another day off to see if that's my issue. Thanks!

No problem, it was a weird issue but that is all mine was.
