The motion guide device clamper mechanism includes a clamper main body connected to the movable member, an inner face having a tapered shape so that the distance between the facing faces is narrower toward the end of one face of the track me fiber, and one rolling member disposed between the facing faces of the one face of the track member and the inner face. The rolling member receives a pressing force toward a position where the distance between the facing faces of one face of the track member and the inner face of the clamper main body is narrow, so that a frictional force based on the taper shape acts on the rolling member, and the restraint of the clamper main body with respect to the track member is performed. Further, a frictional force based upon the taper shape is released and the non-restraint of the clamper is performed.

A slide rail assembly includes a rail kit. The rail kit includes a rail, a blocking member, and an operating member. The rail has an extension hole. The blocking member is movably disposed on the rail. The operating member is disposed on the rail, can be operated in order to drive the blocking member, and includes an operating portion corresponding to a portion of the extension hole of the rail.

A kit for reinforcing a rack and pinion steering system includes a bushing to be slid over an end of a steering rack and inserted into an opening of a rack housing of the rack and pinion steering assembly on the driver's side. The kit may also include a retainer to be inserted into the opening of the rack housing to ensure that the bushing remains in position inside the rack housing. The bushing includes a reinforcing side and a retaining side. The reinforcing side has a shape that mimics the shape of the space between the rack rod and the rack housing. The kit may further include an enhanced passenger side housing assembly that includes a bushing made of a wear resistant material. The passenger side bushing is disposed within a passenger side main housing. The enhanced passenger side housing assembly replaces the original passenger side housing.
