I bought my steroids rack in 2003, installed it in 2004 and haven't had a problem out of it since. Everything bolted right in exactly where and how it was supposed to with no clearnace issues of any kind. Considering that I'm kind of a noob when it comes to working on cars and if this upgrade failed on me I'd pretty much be dead I was extremely paranoid about it for the first year or so driving it and must have checked it and had it checked a few dozen times

I contacted SpeedDirect about the problem and here was their response:
"That sounds a bit odd – perhaps the lines got a little bent in shipping? The only thing we can think of is to try bending it out of the way enough to clear. Sorry we don’t have a better idea, but that is not something we have run into. If you need a new line, we have them available."
That is an interesting response when they already know that some units had the lines clocked wrong. I guess I will just remove the bracket and grind off the sharp corner where the retaining bolt for the right link comes through.

binnie you add an extra washer on each bolt and it will increase the distance of the mouting bracket so it clears the tubing
