Default whiteline bushings

Has anyone had any success with white line steering rack bushings? Any problem with the fit? Any recommendations for alternative bushings?

I installed Whiteline bushing in evilchargerfan's SC. All polyurethane bushings are the same. I have Daizen on mine. Only difference I can tell is the Whiteline bushings is a one piece and not split in the middle like Daizen. Another option is SuperPro through Figs Engineering a vendor here.

Is the new passenger bushing split or a solid piece like Kingphillip's?

Just get a long screwdriver and start hitting it with a hammer on all angles. It's not gonna damage anything as long as you're hitting the bushing or the metal sleeve of it.

And also go to plumbing section at Lowes and get a metal fitting that has the same OD as what you need. That's what I used.

Running these on my SC, great bushings, affordable and no bull **** wait time.

For those having trouble getting the old bushings old with the rack still on the car, giant pry bars are your new best friend.

Just installed mine today. Pictures here.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...er-pics-2.html

Have not driven far but just around the block it's a night and day difference. My round bushing was pretty much gone as you can see from the pictures. I'll let you know how they drive in the next couple of days. Only about 10 minutes to install.
