Default How to install "steering stop" when upgrading to 18" rims?

Ok, so Ford Racing has this to say about GT500 rims on non-GT500 vehicles:

Note: For vehicles with 16" wheels from the factory: -installing 17" x 8" wheels, use steering stop 4R3Z-3932-BA -Installing 18" x 8.5" or 18" x 9.5" wheels, use steering stop 6R3Z-3932-CA For vehicles with 17" wheels from the factory: -installing 18" x 8.5" or 18" x 9.5" wheels, use steering stop 6R3Z-3932-CA


The part price itself doesn't appear to be to bad, from a search I did online. How much trouble is it to install these steering stops? Is this a "take it to the dealer" thing or a "do it yourself" thing?

I'll be watching this one with interest.

My car is running 18 x 9.5 x 45 MM offset on the street and so far my "installation of steering stops" is to remember not to turn the wheel full hard when parking.

I tried to find in the manual how to install the stops but had no luck.

Has anyone ever installed them?

Believe they fit on the ends of the actual rack itself inside the rubber covering. Did on my '03.

Cheers.
