Boots Melting On Steering Rack.

[drohan8592]

Hey guys, one of the many problems i'm having with my car is that the turbo pipes are melting the boots on my steering rack. Is anybdy else having similar problems with their HP turbo kit? What is the solution? This is just one of the many things that i've had to deal with.

i dont have the same kit you do, but my exhaust pipes go right by my boots. what i did is i heat wraped them and it seems to be good to go. you could do that and see if it helps any?

yeah, wrap them and double wrap them. with the hellion kit, it comes with pads that I put on the pipes and then I am also wrapping them with header wrap as well now. but with my orange car I just used the pads and never had a problem.

I used heat wrap as well, looked too close for comfort when I installed the kit.

Are you running offset rack bushings? Might be able to raise the steering rack a little more.

on my hp kit, i put on the steeda bump steer, and hp has diffrent sway bar brackets

I run offset rack bushings and that raises it some out of the way. I also had my pipes high temp ceramic coated black and then wrapped them in header wrap, no issues

Back from the dead. Also having this issue. How much did offset rack bushings help? I wish I could lower the rack a 1/2" or so to keep my boot from rubbing:
