It's cheaper to put a shim in tho.

Easy job then? Which side would it need to go on, presuming right hand side of the car?

Mate, just need to shim the engine mount where the exhaust header is to tilt the engine a bit. We used a piece of metal with a slot instead of a hole, so we undid the bolt of the mount, jack the engine a bit, put the shim, release jack, and bolt it on again.
Also an engine damper will help when turning left to avoid engine moving toward the steering rack

Got Performance Autoworks to put a shim on the passenger side, it seems to have cured the issue.

Thanks for the advice guys.
