Arrow Power Steering To Manual Rack Issue.



So my p/s rack started to puke fluid through the rack so I decided to install a manual rack laying around that I purchased through here several years ago. Im in the process of installing it and I ran into an issue were on the passenger side area of the rack the mounting is loose/have excessive play due to the manual rack is way thinner. Anyone ran into this issue b4?

Right hand side of manual rack is smaller than power rack. Like scathcart said, bushing/bracket is NLA from Mazda. There have been posts on this subject before. Most people either fab a new bracket or have bought a PU bushing from Energy Suspension that takes up the gap with the original bracket.
