you need to recenter the rack, look at how much the pass side rod end is out, that's dangerous, you need to recenter the rack before hooking up the column, you need to measure from the tie rod holes on the center bracket to the cross shafts and those measurements need to be the same left and right

Are there any deals to be had on these kits? It looks like the norm is about $1249 for most vendors.

I purchased mine from VBP; I think it was $12XX something but free shipping. Enough to make me say "Yes."
