Installed my Weltmeiter steering rack spacers, It really works! Options

Here is my '75 (back dated bumpers). The PO put Bilsteins on the car and lowered it. It sits nice but suffers from bump steer.



So I bought the Weltmeister steering rack spacer kit to correct the problem (or at least most of it). Here is what I got. I used the m10x45 bolts. The threads on one of the bolts looked a little damaged so I went to my FLAPS and bought a new one. The bolts are grade 8.8.

You need access to the auxiliary support and steer rack so out comes the underfloor protection (2 17mm and 2 13 mm bolts). As the plate is fairly thin metal, I supported it with a small jack so it wouldn't bend once 2 of the bolts were out.



After losening the steering shaft coupling inside the car (13mm and 14mm wrench: nice how they made it possible to do that without having 2 13mm wrenches), I put the small jack under the steering rack and gently lifted it up in order to insert the spacers.
