    Thought I would share these two mods for those having wheel alignment problems, vibration in the 50-70mph or consist vibrations in my steering wheel or the steering wheel not being dead centered, or sloppy wheeling wheel play.
    Ive been fighting these issues for years!
    This might be a simple fix.

    So after replacing the stock steering rack bushings and tie rod bushings with polyurethane bushings and
    discovering that the inside steering rack clamp was totally rusted and shot from rust she drives perfectly again.
    The 333 billet aluminum clamp is never going to rust and clamping pressure is much stronger!
    The stock clamp looks like a piece of junk compared to the aluminum clamp.
    There were NO signs of any rust on this clamp from the outer side of this clamp.
    The inside of the clamp was totally deforming and rotten and destroying the bushing cutting into it.
    The polyurethane bushings with this clamp fixed all the above issues for me.

    ANY movement that i make in the steering wheel now has a direct effect in my direction of travel
