Headers contacting steering linkage Hey I just installed some long tube headers on my camaro. it runs and sounds great; however, the driver side header rubs on the steering linkage whenever i turn the wheel. It is not horrible, the car is still driveable, its just annoying and a littlen hazardous. Does anyone know how i can fix this besides taking the linkage apart and putting a small dent in the header pipe? I have never taken the linkage apart before and would like not to do it if i dont have to.
But if there is no other way could someone post steps on how to do it?
Thanks everyone

There is also some sort of metal gaurd on the steering linkage. You can take a cutoff wheel to it for some clearance. I remember mine at first was "notchy" and it was that peice catching on a primary with each turn of the steering colum.

Afew good tid bits here. first id suggest finding a LS1 steering shaft. Its smaller and eliminators the need for the rag joint. it just needs to be modified slightly. Also pull out the steering column and oblong the bolt holes in the firewall and slide it down. a last option should be to dent the header. If you can get away without doing so. Do it.

I stopped and talked to my local shop to get some more words of wisdom from him. He told me my motor mounts are bad and that he recommends getting some polyurethane mounts and that might lift the motor enough to clear the linkage. Because i checked and my linkage is already slid down as far as it can go,
