+1. I used the solid PBM relocation bushings, but didn't care for them.

First off, they don't move the rack very far forward. Second, you're clamping smooth metal against smooth metal without crazy tight lateral tolerances, so the rack will actually slide back and forth when hitting lock hard. After hitting lock on a left corner, suddenly your steering wheel centers itself to the right. Then after a right corner, you're centered to the left.

I had the x-member modified to relocate the rack and I switched back to rubber bushings, and the movement went away. In hindsight, I should have just done that from the beginning.
