hit it with a hammer!


Buy QTP/Kooks next time? I don't know. I havent heard of anyone else complaining about this issue. Is your motor mount shot?

You can adjust the steering shaft a bit. Loosen the top bolt and slide it down. If that doesn't work, poly motor mounts will raise the motor a hair, and you should have done them from the beginning. If THAT doesn't work, dent the primary.

I have kooks and my where hitting when I installed headers. I did what TheBlurLS1 suggested. plus did have to on headers just a bit. poly mounts are going in when I return from dessert. when I stomp on it, the motor lifts a little so thats not an issue, it's when around that I used to feel it. checks 4.0 now...

What other problems did you have, Joey? Did you actually bang on the LT or what?
