Mine has been running fine for 5 years. Heavy as hell for parallel parking, but feels great over 15 mph.

so ended up cutting up an old allen wrench to identical sizes that filled up the cavity with very little play. still waiting on new shocks to test them out though. should hold up fine. my fall back plan was a couple of old screws that could have been cut to length... so we'll see!

Question- are you running a depowered rack on the track car in your signature?

I'm not criticizing it. The reason I ask was if sanctioning bodies allow that. Thought I would have to entirely rebuild my leaky PS system or convert to true manual.
