Common problem when installing a WCXM.
Lower steering rack (which can give unwanted bumpsteer effects) and/or cut engine mount (which what I did on mine).

Mine is very close but does not hit. On the passenger side though the (gear reduction) starter motor does foul on the engine mount so I just ground a scallop out of it with the grinder, problem fixed.

I didn't even think of that at the time!! The housing obviously got rotated when I last rebuilt the starter and now there is clearance.
