Reply to "Steering rack shims"

larrywMember

I followed Garth's thread to Dan Jones posting on the Realbig forum and found the statement that '74 cars had a factory bumpsteer correction (shims).
I took a look at 7102 (wheels off and up on stands in the shop) and that appears to be the case. The rack is shimmed away from the mount by two spacers.
Any further shimming doesn't seem possible as the rack mounting bolts pass through a stiffener attached to the other side of the rack that looks to be factory welded in place.
Two questions. May I consider bumpsteer shimming a done deal? And, is the stiffener the "stropp brace" (or equivalent)?
