There have been many discussions of poly bushings and solid steering rack mounts to get better steering feel on our rack and pinion TRs. I did read one post a few weeks ago that got me to thinking (always dangerous) sorry, I don't remember who, but somebody mentioned replacing the top rubber universal in the steering shaft with the solid one from the lower shaft. This sounds to me like it would have more effect on steering feel than the rack bushes. Anyway, I am considering either doing the solid rack mounts or the solid upper mount on the column. I would think from an engineering standpoint the rubber rack mounts would be more important for absorbing shocks and saving stress on the rack than the rubber coupling in the shaft. If you have ever driven a Sprite/Midget you know how precise and direct rack and pinion should feel, trying to get the TR a little closer to that type of steering feel.
