Hey guys, just had the motor running for a bit. I noticed the plastic piece down by the steering knuckle was melting on the header, can u just totally remove that piece without worrying? Or is it protectin something? I guess I could also alter it in someway to keep it away from the steering

 

I'm guessing you mean the steering shaft. The knuckle is at the wheel. The plastic is to keep any debris from possibly jamming up the joint. I'm sure there are plenty out there without this piece.

 

Ok thanks

 

Not so fast, if you plan on selling the car and you have a educated buyer one of the tell tail signs of a car that's been in front end accident is the plastic covers missing or damaged. Just some food for thought.

 

Ok thanks! I just kind of altered it, cut some off. I'm going to see how that works for now!

 

I still have mine, but have not had it on the car for years.

 

Agreed, still possess mine as well, but had clearance issues with my BBK shorty headers. Haven't had any issues running without it

 

LS steering shaft *Write Up*

If you can weld do the above works good, gives more room

 

that was an interesting writeup. Mine barely fits with my kooks and figure the heat may be too much for it eventually.
