Ok so I put a divorced turbo elbow on my at a while back and I noticed my car vibrTex alotafter that by I though it's just cuz didntb tighten up my motor mounts, so long story short my steering stick ( sorry I lost the technical term I. My head but it's the tubea that goes from the dash into the ps rack) well it's rubbing on the turbo elbow causing it to vibrate and steering is just a wee bit harder but not too much, couldthispresent any problem in the near future?

What brand of elbow did you use? This seems to happen to some people who use the cheap ones (and a couple of the name-brand) because they use the JDM chassis as their model for the elbow and in Japan the steering is on the opposite side. You might have to cut it down and weld it, or just buy one of the ones designed for the USDM chassis.
