I noticed lately that when I turn left, I was getting a strange noise, did a little looking around and found the culprit. The header and stearing shaft have been banging together


My question is how to fix it? I know back in the day a ball pein hammer would take care of the problem, but Im scared Ill mess up the ceramic coating on the headers, so how do I handle it?

 

Make 3 right turns instead of a left? Haha, j/k, not too sure bout that one

 

sell the truck.. thats the only way to fix it... go buy a Yugo with plenty of hoss powa

 

Is everything secure and tight along the steering shaft - no excess slop in it? I've heard of the end of the bolt hitting the headers, but not the hex head of the bolt hitting. You might try just trimming some off with a dremel...see if that helps?

 

Everything is tight. Its not the bolt hitting, its the steering shaft itself

 

your jacked

 

call pacesetter to see what they say. how long has it been doing it?

 

I dont know how long its been doing it. Ive been noticing it a couple of months though. I really dont think its the headers, cause the truck has been wrecked hard on the drivers side, but I dont remember it rubbing when the headers were first on eigther.

 

bondo had some rubbing issues with his pacesetters. his truck was wrecked also. so it could be the frame is still a tad out of whack

 

Good, now that Ive figured that out, answer the question and tell me how to fix it. Im seriously thinking , but dont want to **** up the coating
