The steering column is supported under the dash. I used a solid clamp mount
with rubber inserts to replace the flimsy stock clamp that used felt. The shaft
is self supported under the hood by the strength of the metal u-joints with no
issues. I used modified GoodParts steering rack mounts. It is all very solid
but a heim joint support would give additional strength.
