How does that contain the rack side to side? The bad rubber is still in the rack correct? If it is, then that is still going to be the constraining matieral for side to side? Unless the washer clamp that rack so hard it can't move side to side?

I was wondering what the washer actually does too. I think the washer just takes up the vertical space between the inner metal core of the bushing and the crossmember, as Louie emhpasizes the washer thickness must exceed the exposed metal bushing core. So, I surmised the rack is held in place just by the clamping force on the washers exerted by the bolts.
Oh - Louie answered while I was surmising... Thanks.

SO ... thank you for posting 
... I really disagree substantially that just because someone knows how to perform a particular job on the 928, it now becomes his or her method and never shall anyone breathe a word to help others because "Dude owns this idea".

So basically, there could also be constructed a SHAFT of certain ID and OD, which would hold that entire area tight, with the original busuing totally cut out. Which is what Carl sells.

Dennis,
This may seem odd, but you might want to consider the power steering pump.
I converted to electric power steering and there were times during experimentation where I would turn the system off and back on under various conditions, and the effect is exactly what you are describing everytime the pump came back on. The higher the load, the more violent the "shake". Either the pump is failing intermittently or a leak somewhere causing the pump to cavitate under those conditions. Would be interesting to know if that is the case.
Good luck
