1 x XK140 & XK150 Steering Rack stainless steel shimming kit of 6 pieces. Includes 2 x 4206/1 Large Shims under the rubber mounts & 4 x 4206/2 Smaller insertable Shims for final adjustments, in situ (0.048").

We are always learning here, so please read why these are so important :

These (often missing) fitting shims, are listed by Jaguar to correctly position the rack onto the sometimes inaccurately made / damaged XK140 & XK150 Chassis. Shimming allows a rebuilt and line-bored rack to sit perfectly square onto  the chassis. All of our shims are now made in stainless steel to resist corrosion, to keep doing their job properly. Missing out these shims can lead to additional steering drag that can prematurely wear out a rack bush, from unequal stresses caused from bolting it down incorrectly. This can cause imperceptible twisting to the rack. The XK steering is heavy enough once you go away from original equipment Crossply tyres and fit grippier, wider, Radials (lets not mention us getting older too!) So please do take note and make sure you set up a newly rebuilt rack to operate perfectly, without additional drag (compare it to tracking your wheels to protect your tyres). You need only fit a rebuilt steering rack the once, if its done properly, as the Jaguar Workshop manual explains ( and Parts Books show).
