Looks like you could grind material off the front rack mount to clear the mounting bolt.

Or maybe swap to an Allen head bolt? It may take awhile to tighten tho. I had the same problem on my mustang rack but I'm just going to grind the front mounting brackets where the bolts are hitting .

Do none of that:

Offset rack and pinion bushings:

Or way and above and beyond the call of duty: Scott does it again.

Edit: with the offset bushings I linked, it will move the rack input away from the gusset.

Thanks again for willing to solve problems, I do appreciate it!

Jay .... I see what you're stepping in, use the offset bushing to the pass side instead of its intended use for lowered vehicle ( put em @ 9 o'clock instead of 6 o'clock).

I'll try the offset bushings and mod the front if I have too!

Thanks for helping guys!!!

Correct. There is enough threads on the rack ends to take up the offset of the rack to clear the steering input.
