Kooks LT: Steering wheel shaft clearance
I just finished the installation of my Kooks LTs. I had to disconnect the steering wheel column to get enough room. After putting everything back together I notice that the rubber boot of the steering wheel column touches the headers. I dont see a way to get some room between. Did you remove this boot? Any suggestions are highly appreciatet.

Bad header. Have them send you a new one.

I them on my SS with no clearance problems. Probably a V6/V8 difference. I didn't even know Kooks make headers for the 6.

No I have a 2011 2SS (will update avatar asap)...
I now removed the rubber boot. Seems the only way to avoid melting. |

OK,well that clears that up. But I'm still wondering what boot your having issues with.
