Typ 89 front subframe bushings R@R question

[Kneale Brownson]

Not an 80-90 owner, but wasn't there an issue on these with where the
steering rack bolts down on one end?  I seem to recall someone posting
about the sheetmetal anchorage for the rack weakening and fracturing
similar to the clutch anchorage.
