PRO TIP: Get yourself a paint pen and witness mark anything you install in the car after it's torqued to spec. You can visually see if anything is loosening that way.
never thought about that, love how most pro tips on here are almost common sense things you don't normally think about.

Also, for 2011+, there's a hidden 3rd bolt for the EPAS rack. Its the one that shot Kennedy.

I'll update that PDF shortly.

Kidding aside, I will make a write up for this because its so far from the instruction ford gives its not funny.

Interestingly enough, the steeda arms have left me with about an inch of toe-out. No one wanted to take the car end of day Friday (lol who would), so out come the stands and strings in a bit.

Also vorshlag was right, the GT-brembo programmed rack does NOT like the firmer bushings. They're almost imperceptible at the wheel (some more feedback but hard to tell with so much toe and bumpsteer), but just takes one bit of rough pavement over 40mph to make for some entertaining demonic steering posession.
