Re: Steering Rack Brace "Arm" - Why?

I believe the brace is designed to prevent the firewall from flexing near the steering clamp and prevent cracking. Right hand drive versions of the NG900 and OG9-3 have reported the firewall/bulkhead cracking at the steering rack clamp. A quick google search will turn-up more information.
