Hi all,

I'm very belatedly building an early-production 818S and I just ran into a fitment problem with the passenger-side steering rack bracket. The rack is from an '07 WRX (non-STI). I can't imagine nobody ran into this, but my searches of the forum haven't hit anything.

As one can see in the photo, the steering rack bracket interferes with the fitting stub on the rack.

The rack is bolted into place on the driver side, so this is the correct position for the rack - moving it to one side or the other isn't an option. Most likely I'm going to just trim the bracket down to make room for the protruding stub on the rack, but thought I would ask: has anybody else encountered this? Am I missing something obvious? What did you do instead?

Thanks,

Eric
