I don't have these shims. They weren't on the input shaft housing when I took it off, or inside the rack housing. Is it possible I don't need them for a 99?

Edit: They're not mentioned in any of the NB writeups I've found.

I posed the same question with my 2002 because I didn't have those either. Had me 2nd guessing that they fell out somehow and I didn't see it happen. Put it back together regardless and it feels great with no play (on jack stands - wont be driving it for a while) Abe welded mine up.
There must be many slight internal rack variations.
