I have not put mine in yet, but they do look well made and good quality, so should stop the rack sideways movement when under load, may give a bit more feel too ?

Are they easy to change over? Does the engine need to be lifted etc? Cant visualise how to remove them.

Just two through bolts at front of rack on 2wd, then have to drill remove old rubber bushes, often easier just to take rack off, replace with alloy bits bolt up.
I might do a few bits as I have a lathe, still useless on it but have to learn, only bought it for one job, but getting better, don't do SS I have found!!
