Steering Shaft rubbing on headers

[97GSTANGT]

I just finished installing flowtech longtube headers and a tubular front end with coil over kit. Problem is my steering shaft is rubbing on my header. I tried adjusting the steering rack using the aluminum bushings but no matter where i adjust it seems to rub. Any idea on what i can do?

most people who have this issue usualy use hammer and dent the pipe where its rubbing.
My BBK clears shaft by like 1/16th of ann inch if that

Yup, dent that MF'er. Mine just clears my BBK's to.

My flowtech's clear, but barely. They may rub a bit, but I haven't noticed it yet. Go with the hammer and dent the tubes a tiny bit!

I had the problem on a 5.0 and put a shim between the motor mount and frame took bout ten minutes and fixed the problem. That was after i tried denting the header without success.
