I'm just getting started on my build and I'm ready full of questions.
The manual shows bushings (B), which they sent me. It also shows tube cylinders (C) ,that they did not send.
But the steering rack seems to come with a variation of these already installed (A).
Do I ignore/ discard those parts and just install with the pre-fitted bushings and tubes?
Am I missing something here?

I'm assuming that's the Factory Five supplied power steering rack. I haven't use one of those, so take this answer FWIW. Mine came from Breeze when he was still selling them.

Normal practice has been the OE rubber bushings are removed and replaced with the poly bushings you pictured. I'm confident that's correct. Perhaps the reason they didn't send new inner steel bushings is they expect you to use the ones removed from the rack. If they fit, that would make sense.

Thank you! Removing them now. Still searching for the steel bushings. Perhaps I overlooked them.

If you have trouble getting the rack to match up to the brackets in the chassis, (I did) I would recommend the solid offset adjustable bushings from Breeze. Give Mark a call if you have questions.

Did you find your steel sleeves? I’m sitting here scratching my head looking for mine!

Found them! In Box 1 with the steering shaft and other steering items!
