   I have searched but couldnt find the thread explaining that you have to bend/move something once your car is lowered.
   
   If someone could direct would be great.
   
   Cheers

   As ash's picture, the high pressure pipe needs bending upwards so that it clears the track rod and doesnt rub.
   
   can be replaced with the MK1 high pressure pipe if it has worn through as the MK1 clears the track rod with no bending required.

   No you would not hear it rubbing while you were driving buddy. Take a look though and you will see damage to the pipes mesh cover if it has been rubbing. Use a wide screwdriver or similar to bend it (slightly) out of the way of the track rods.

   ok found it, wasnt touching but did only have like 5mm in it but was very stiff to move, is it something you should be able to just bend easily with your hands?
