In addition, you can reuse the stock steering rack bearings. I found the following info and picture from the Avid site helpful during installation:
*Note from Avid site: Assemble the steering rack screws with blue thread lock. Also, if you tighten down the 2 BH screws to hold the steering rack and you feel a bind in the movement, it could be that the steel pivot bushings are too short. Slide a thin motor shim over the screw before installation and this will prevent the screw from clamping onto the rack and causing drag.*
That is why I don't have one yet. The slop is in the steering rack/ackerman bar

I know that JConcepts makes some with a 3mm offset for the SC10, but I don't what to be limited to just JC wheels.
Your not limited to just JC wheels. Avid and DE make +3mm wheels and Proline is coming out with a set soon as well. PLus you can use Rulex rims, they just aren't +3mm offset.
