Mac header people in here...

Who has a problem with the steering linkage rubbing on the driver side header? Mine is right up against it, so im getting a constant vibration and rubbing noise whenever i drive. Anyone know a way to fix this?

Hmm, mine doesnt even seem to be that close to the steering linkage, what is rubbing, the slip tube?? What gaskets are you using?

I had the exact same problem dude, I ended up grinding the steering shaft a bit and now its perfect.

That's the only way I can think of, my motor mounts are brand new too.

Ditto on the above, i took the plastic thing off and there's at least 2 or so inches between the shaft and the primary. If it's hitting the shaft then it's probably best to send that set in and get another one
