Well my steering shaft is rubbing on my header, only on one spot. I know that my Pitman and Idler arm and inner tie rod are going bad would that cause my steering shaft to rub my header on one spot?

just take the steering shaft out, you dont need it
welcome to Pacecrappers headers...have i ever said how much i hate those headers??
power steering box bolted to frame so shouldnt effect it i wouldnt think, they're awsome at balding your tires however lol
seriously though the only fix i can tell you is to take the shaft off and get a torch to it, heat it up and bend it in a little or maybe even a gentle hit from a hammer just to make it clear the shaft
I have pacesetter and they have been nothing but great, and don't hit or rub anything.Quote:

You need the BFH mod.
This must be the 4wd pacesetter dilemna everyones talking about. Remember those headers I bought from you SCIV? The former owner beat on them to get them to clear something on his 4x4 and had to get it re-welded. It must be for certain year models that the headers will have problems
Ya, did they work out for you? Sorry I can't remember if they did or not!Quote:

Cause I eventually want turbo and cant use them with it :p. I wish I could have installed them though to find out why the guy beat them in and help with the latest pacesetter install dilemnas.Quote:

just hit it with a hammer, its the best tool to make pacesetters fit. seriously.
Who is Matt?
It seems that a few people have had this problem, it only does it on one spot.
I am going to sand down the shaft a little and give the header a dead blow smack or two.
The guy that previously stated that worn steering parts won't make the input shaft rub a header.
What do you mean, they are awsome at balding my tires? The shaft is only hitting on one spotQuote:

See?
ooohhh I thought that he was referring to alignment problems. But I have just had to replace the I beam shaft.
The top one is the old one.
