Do you have any images of what your set up ?

Chuck,

I checked your website and it seems I have all stock steering setup. Appearently the bushing was replaced and the bracket was replaced since it doesn't have any undercoating on it.
Thanks for the info.

That unpainted bracket is one of Bill Stropps' proudest efforts. As you know, the early Panteras imported to the US had some 50 lbs of reinforcements added, many designed by the team that went out and retrofitted the early cars on Ford's nickel.. That bracket is one of them. The undercoater probably figured there was no need to shoot gunk up on that area. My car has none up in that area.
The bumpsteering correction is simply a strap that fits under the rack at both mounting points, between the rack and trunk floor. It lower the rack slightly (requires longer-than-stock bolts) and also means the alignment needs to be re-done. The bump-steer spacer depends on the spring spacers being removed, too.
