A question to the Fiero guru's out there. I just installed the Held/Arraut/Fierostore bump-steer correction kit on my 87 GT. It seems there is not enough clearance between the A-arm and the outer CV boot on the RH/passenger side and the boot is rubbing on the cable. I think I have the cable run the only way it could, which is on top of the A-arm. Does anyone have any experience with this, or a little advice on what to do? TIA

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same issue now that I replaced, my right axle.

Sorry you wasted your time and money on the bumpsteer kit.
Hope you check it often, wouldn't want something to break and cause a crash....

Archie installed mine so I don't know if he re-routed anything.
I did have to shave down the nut that's going vertical because when the axle nut was tightened, it would rub the outer shell of the CV and lock my axles up.

Actually he didn't like the E-brake setup at all and never installed it.
