steering column hitting driverside header

[Zdeuce4]

I got my longtubes installed a few months back and just haven't gotten around to getting this fixed.

i took it to the shop that usually does all my fab work and larger projects and they couldnt fix it. out of bending it or mounts which is the better method?

ive been researching mounts but ive seen that the polys may break? and that solids may be too "solid"? what are my options here? it gets stuck occasionally but i usually avoid it by making sure i dont push the gas too hard in turns or i dont turn as hard as i could.

you know, honestly i had the same problem for a couple of months (very slightly) and somehow it just worked itself out. i havent felt it stick or snag at all, even in turns at hard throttle.

If you go and get you a front end alignment, it should take care of the issue.

What brand of headers?

[Zdeuce4]

i got a front end alignment. seems like it sticks more often now.. pacesetter longtubes and catless mids. ive been told my stock mounts may be kind of worn also.. i just hate that sticking feeling

[Robofuzz]

Well... you can try swapping the mounts. I have the Noltec engine mounts and they helped my header clearance.

Did you get the cradle alinged as well with your front alignment?

[Zdeuce4]

im not sure. it was a full front end alignment though. theyre really good about doing things properly at the place i go to

Most places dont touch the cradle unless you ask/tell them too and some places dont even have a clue its adjustable or what your talking about lol... just depends who it is.

agreed. A lot of places think that a cradle alignment is the same as a full 4 wheel alignment. Not eveyone knows about the differences. No fault of the place you take your car, just not a common item that most places know about.
