Still waiting on the axles, so I had time to install the BMR Rack n Pinion bushing on the right side.

This took about 20 minutes total time -- very easy to install.

Take the wheel off on the right side and its very easy to get to the bolts (they are actually 18 MM socket -- not 15 like the instructions say). The OEM bracket has an arrow that tells you the 'front' side. Here is the bracket, bushing (OEM and BMR), instructions et. al.:

The kit:



Bracket off:



Bushing out -- this was easy to remove. I just used a screwdriver to remove the bracket and remove the bushing. The Rack does lower just a bit, but with a small pry bar, you can lift it up just enough to slide it in:



Bushing lubed (inside and out) and the bracket -- arrow facing forward -- set in place. Make sure to line up both halves of the bushing:







Bolted and torqued to 45 ft lbs (with blue loctite):





Verify bottom halves lined up:



Now, just waiting on the emissions to get ready and the axles to get here...
