This is not a new problem that I've ran into, but just remembered to post up about it. Back when I put my front bumper cover on, the bottom of the bumper cover, where it attaches to the bottom of the core support, is hitting the power steering line on the driver side of the core support.

I was just wondering if anyone else had ever ran into this problem. Its a brand new OEM bumper cover that is straight from Ford, so its not an issue with it being some cheap chinese junk.

I'll try and get some pics up to show you guys what I'm talking about.

These are hard lines though, I don't think I can move them?

If I remember correctly they should be on the front side of the core support not under it.

Sorry its kind of hard to explain without pics. They are coming out of the front side of the core support. There is an oval shaped hole at the bottom and that is where they are coming out. The bumper is hitting them right as soon as the bend upwards.

They are hitting the very bottom of the bumper cover, and doesn't really allow the bumper to fit flush up against the driver side fender. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow night, if I can make it up to the shop.
