    Mark IV Steering rack support

    Hello F5 Community.
    I could use some support with the steering rack install. I had it installed months ago until tonight when I attempted to install the Breeze Bump Steer kit. Now that I am using his solid aluminum bushings and find that the rack will not go in straight.
    After measuring the supportsl, I measure the height difference between the front and back support tabs. (see pic) both of them are off but the PS is off by more than the DS.
    When inserting the second bolt the rack needs to twist is more than the solid aluminum bushings can move. The rubber bushings were able to flex.
    My guess is that the bolt holes to support the steering rack should be at the exact same height and should also be parallel with the 4” frame which they are not. I measured not only the height of the support tabs but the bolt hole heights.

    A-B difference in height .65
    C-D difference in height .175
    The difference in the PS vs the DS rack height from front to rear is .110.

    The pics below show the fact that the bolt holes are not level but the frame is definitely 100% level.

    Am I missing something big or maybe I am on the right track?


    Thanks for any support.
