For those with Steeroids....
Been working on my steeroids install today and got the passanger and driver side brackets on and the rack bolted up as well. My questions is what bolts to the driver side gusset bracket? I have a manual kit and from my understanding I dont need this bracket. I just wanted to confirm this with those who have experience with this kit. Thanks!

I thought the drivers side gusset stiffened up the rack and prevented unwanted side to side motion. The rack brackets hang down under the frame, and I think someone here had there's crack or break. Why would you not want to use it?

I suspect the bracket you are referring to is the one with the four bolt holes that replaced the steering cylinder bracket on power steering cars. The bolts that holds these brackets to the frame come down from inside the frame. You should see those 4 holes which are accessible through a hole in the side of the frame.

Thanks for the pics, those definitley help! One question, my car was a manual steering car from the factory, will I have any bolt holes for the steering cylinder bracket on my car? Again, i will look tonight once I get home from work to make sure, jsut wanted to know if anyone had an idea off hand. Thanks!
