Sloppy steering ? heads up ...
Hey guys,
My steering was feeling sloppy since my last track outing three weeks ago and i started reading all the posts about lunched steering "u" joints and many other atrocities until i did my one week prior to "track inspection" only to discover that one of my steering rack bolts had completely loosened and the other was only finger tight. I had installed bump steer spacers three years ago with blue 242 Loctite and they managed to come loose,and yes i installed 1/2 inch longer bolts to compensate. This time i reinstalled them with red 271 loctite and will pay more careful attention even though the guard plate is a PITA to remove/install. Just a heads up to remember to check those bolts from time to time ! Cheers ! Phil

Good advice.
A little bit more precise photo would be useful.

And you appear to be missing a bolt on the sway bar mount where the blue bushing is, but you probably already knew this.
