Hi Dave,

When I put a quick steering rack in I couldn't get an adequate gap  
between the rack and the harmonic balancer because the QR I bought is  
a bit thicker in the middle section than the stock.  The list  
suggested my motor mounts might be tired so I got TRF's premium motor  
mounts and will try again this winter to install the QR after I do new  
motor mounts.

Hopefully you won't encounter that but have hope there's a potential  
solution if you do and you might not be installing it twice like me.
