[V8] Steering Rack Mount

[Samuel Mrowka]

Hi Tom, I had something similar happen to my '93 V8. Removed the strut,
drilled out the bracket spot welds, then had someone re-weld the bracket
in. Had to do this twice since the first time was not strong enough and it
was still flexing. The second time the guy welded around the entire bracket
rather than just the spot welds. Has been holding up good since then - 3
years now.
