Default EVO front coilover problem

Today is Saturday so I can't contact the guys at ORE for help.

Here is my problem: The coilover tower on the drivers side is making contact with the steering rod or whatever it's called in english.(the thing that connects the steering wheel to the steering box) when placed in the spot where the instructions indicate.

Help please from anyone who has experience with this install.

Thanks!

I'm having problems opening up this link on phone. Is this the Do it yourself thread? That's the one I found that addressed this problem. He used a spacer between the frame and the steering box to create space between the steering arm and the upper EVO tower. I'm trying to contact my mech now with this idea. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
