Default Headers Rubbing Steering Column?

I Installed headers today, and they must be rubbing up against the streering column...If i let go of the steering wheel while driving, it will turn slightly to the left and veer left. It still goes in the direction that you want it, except when your hands are off the wheel.

Could there be any other problem that would cause this?

THANKS

check to see if they are rubbing....pop your hood and turn the wheel all the way to the right i guess it would be and see if that bolt is hiting the header...if it is grind it down till it dont rub no mo <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
