Thanks, all. My (former) mechanic did indeed just forget to install the retaining clip. 15 minutes yesterday morning put things right. He was none too please to see me again but to his credit, he made it good without complaint. What else could he do? I was having the steering replaced in order to pass MD state inspection. Related question: For those that have bought a Cardone "long rack", did it come with or without mounting bushings?
