Yeah, I hear you, but what I'm saying is that the bushings that are in the earlier (84 LX) rack are not the same as the later model bushings. I have done an 87 or later car and it is just as you describe. But the bushings on the 84 car have a metal sleeve inside the rubber bushing that is part of the bushing and is too small and the 84 bushings are pressed into the rack. So I pressed the old bushings out and got new polyurethane bushings to put in.
