I just installed the rack extenders on my stock mustang rack. I was elbows deep in disassembled steering linkage, boots and such when it hit me that a few years from now when that fine rack blows a seal, I may or may not recall the slick extensions hidden beautifully under those boots. Might be a bit of a shock to replace the rack only to get all the bumpsteer back that the rack/inner tie rod extensions eliminated. Then comes the aggravation of realizing they are sitting on a bench at some unknown rebuilding shop after I blithely returned them to the store with the old rack.

It's a small aluminum plate letter stamped "Save Rack/Inner Tierod Extensions". The ends are drilled for a pair of zipties to secure it under the hydraulic lines. Hopefully it's never needed--like many other things on these builds.
