problem w/ BRP rack and pinion kit Iv got the BRP rack and pinion kit that i am installing. i was looking at the steering control arm (i think thats what it's called. the part that bolt to the back of the spindle) and it looks like it will not work w/ my drum brake backing plate. would it be safe to grind a portion of it off (they are pretty beefy parts) to clear the backing plate or do i need disc brakes?
Yep, we had to grind the top corners down on mine for them to fit the spindles properly. You can see them ground at the top in this photo:
