One tip that I might add is that you may want to install 3M x 4mm grub screws into the spare holes next to the ball stub on the rear hubs to help to keep the ball studs from ripping out the rear hubs.

Once your steering rack starts to develope a bit of slop you can use a strip of Teflon plumbers tape on the steering rack to take up the slop once it breaks in. Just cut it slightly longer than the rack and apply the tape to face allowing it to wrap around to the sides and bottom edge as well.

Another way to reduce slop in the sterring is to install small pieces of Teflon tape over your ball stud before you snap the ball end on. This will help to tighten up loose ball joints and remove more slop.
