    So I have had my headers in for a short time and I'm noticing right under the rear header it looks like it rubbing just a little on the lines under it which I'm assuming are for power steering? Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and know what the fix might be? Thanks guys.

    The power steering lines are not really even close the headers at all, they all run further down near the subrame itself. The headers would have melted that rubber hose by now if they were that close and rubbing.

    Do you have a picture at all.

    I don't have any pictures right now but I can get some when I put it on my lift. It looks like they sit up higher then the sub frame bar that runs under the rear header. Mabye for steering rack? I'm a bit stumped

    Here is a engine picture from behind, it's a 2004-2006ish from the looks of the sway bar, but very similar.

    Looks like whatever those silver lines that the rubber ones are connected to are rubbing slightly on my rear header. Don't think I have an issue with the swaybar as far as I know.

    I'd maybe check your motor mounts if your motor is sitting that far down.

    There probably bad wouldn't surprise me but I have no idea how to change them or where they might be. At this point I have no idea what to do.

    You have the internet, use it. You can google any picture you want and it will show you what they look like, saying you don't know where they are or what to do or how to change them is just giving up to easy. Not being harsh, just is what it is.

    The trans mount is in view on that picture, it's the black bracket bolted to the side of the transmission. You can see the two silver bolts on top, below it is the mount which is also bolted to the subframe.

    The motor mount is below the harmonic balancer on the drivers side, that one is normally smashed with all the fluid spilled out of it and will make the motor sag down alot. Both can be changed with regular hand tools, a jack and a block of wood. Unbolt them one at a time, use the block of wood on the jack to lift the bottom of the motor up sligthly to get the mount out.

    Again, not saying they are the issue but it's worth a shot too look at them.
