I understand direct ie no rubber slop advantage of solid mounts, the issue needs to be addressed by the sellers for sure. Dont know if it works for rubber mounts but found this method: You will notice that when you turn the wheels to the right, the rack gets pushed to the left, and vice-versa (a side to side motion). Take advantage of this motion by turning your wheels all the way to the right before undoing anything, and then replace the rubber mount that is not being pressured. Before tightening the U-bolts, turn the wheel to the oppisite lock in order to apply pressure to the newly installed mount. Tighten the U-bolts. Now do the same for the other side. It worked great! http://vintagetriumphregister.org/tr6-steering-rack/
