Question
QUESTION: When we turn the wheels sharp on our car the pressure line to the power steering rubs on the frame and turning the wheel sharp the opposite way it hits on the headers, we have already installed a lowering bracket on the power sterring unit to get through the headers. Can you help

ANSWER: what other modifications do you have on the car?

QUESTION: THERE ARE NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS

Answer
Two things come to mind, first check and see if there is a brand label or mark on the headers. Then contact the maker they my have a kit. If that does not work it is time for a metal fabricator to get under the car and make up a set of brackets that will route the hoses in a safe place.
