What have you guys done when replacing the power rack wit hthe manual rack on the passenger side? Is there a thicker bushing or do you need a clamp from a manual car? Thanks for any info guys.

A man has got to know his limitations.....
I made a sleeve from an aluminum tube, then split it in half to use as a spacer between the manual rack and the power rack mount.
Isn't just the rubber bushing different?
I know it doesn't have the power steering line cutout.
At least that's what I'm hoping. Since the spare K-member I'm rebuilding to replace Slugmobile's worn out front end had a power steering rack. But I'm going back with a new manual rack.
I ordered a new bushing from Rock Auto. I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks when i have the rest of the parts to complete the rebuild!

so, you are saying we'll need the manual rack bushing clamp for that side?
