Anyone think I need to grind this down?

That particular cross tube doesn't have any fluid or high pressure. It's there is equalize pressure between the LH and RH boots as they compress/expand while turning. I wouldn't want the tube hard contacting that bracket. But bending it a little wouldn't hurt anything as long as it doesn't pull out of the boots. I haven't done a build where those safety brackets are used. Curious what the background is. But regardless, I'd be cautious about grinding them down, notching, whatever, potentially weakening.
