Daizen Steering Rack Bushings Install *56K Warning*
#47
metal bushings.. i bought a pair of bushings months ago on ebay for $40 but they had a plastic center bushing and polyuthrene bushings on the ouside..kinda feel like i got the worse hand, since these form that link cost the same amount, well atleast so far mine have held up good.

If theres a lot of play where you wiggle a little the steering wheel and the tires dont move, id check for tie rods and the coupler on the steering shaft, but i beleive i recall when my rack and pinion bushings were shot i felt a looseness in the steering wheel as well, like i would have to turn like 45 degrees to either side before the car actually turned.... if you have a oil pan leak and exspecially power steering leak and it drips on the bushings it will swell up the bushings and deterioate. Id fix the leak before changing them.

Thanks for this info, and the pics!
This is a 30-40 min job now that I know how to do it.
These bushings made a huge difference for me. Best money spent yet on the car.
My front driver side bushings were hammered, completely disintegrated.

I just got mine yesterday from TM engineering. I purchased them since february but I didnt get them. I thought because they were on backorder. So I emailed them and they said it fell out of their system. And I got them about a week after.
I installed them today. It actually took about 15-20 minutes. I spent another 15 minutes just to clean up the dirt and other crap under the car. I couldn't believe how easy it was once I took off the undercover.
Car feels great. Thanks for this guide. Now I want to do supra TT sway bars.
