Double facepalm; one for the fact that this thread was created, the other for the fact that it made it past two posts.
What I find really funny is that things like the band aid fix for the rack and pinion that's too short (as mentioned in the moto iq write up) didn't get a single post, let alone a thread. That rack length is going to cause bump steer issues if anyone replaces the front control arm bushings with either urethane or bearings. The band aid fix was to use bushings that will deflect to offset the bump steer.
But two square feet of carpet in a place that most people would never notice it and will make absolutely zero difference to the driving experience or the safety of the car is enough to warrant four pages of bickering.
Sad guys.
