I Think they make a part for the pitman arm on Power steering cars to clear the headers. Is that the Drop Braket your talking about ? I know manuel steering cars do not have this problem so just get rid of your powers Steering LOL .

No the drop bracket moves the mounting point of cylinder lower so it will clear the header.

If it's too much work to restore the steering to its proper geometry (which was what I was giving instructions to do if you read it all), maybe we all need to hear some of the other repairs that can be done with a ball peen hammer rather than a shop manual. What did you think I was trying to do, make his car worse?
