In case you do this and wonder as you add the rack band if it will be pinched as the rack moves, the answer is no, if it is wrapped just right. The backside of the ballstud mount in the rack is rounded and just happens to leave plenty of room for the band as the rack pivots lock-to-lock. If you wiggle the steering knuckles after you add all three bands and it just doesnt seem to make a difference to you (there is gonna be some wiggle in the bearings of the rack... watch as you wiggle to see what moves), wait till you drive the car... let it be your decision maker. The idea isnt to remove ALL slop. But the front will be alot more responsive and feel more solid than without the bands. Let me know what you guys think.
