Motor mount rubbing on control arm boot help pls

[DaWildBeast]

After I had my accident I've been pulling my car apart and I thought I needed a new steering rack because every time I turned the steering wheel past the "0" point I would hear a loud "crack" but I realized it's the rubber boot snapping back together because it ripped while rubbing on the engine mount. <br />
My question is how to I get back to having clearance of the rubber boot from the engine mount on the passenger side?<br />
<br />

I have also posted this a different section in suspension I just thought I would get more replies in this thread.

Looks like your steering rack or front crossmember were displaced in the collision.

Check the 2 tabs that the steering rack is bolted to on the crossmember, these may have been bent upwards which will put the rack ends closer to the engine mounts. You may be able to straighten them out with a block of wood and big 'effing pry bar.

But....if the front crossmember body is bent/twisted you'll likely need to replace it.
