Quick question about steering rack replacement
I'm about to replace the steering rack with a remanufactured one from autozone and was wondering if I needed to get new bushings or not? Thanks

on the autozone website, it says that the duralast steering rack and pinions come without electronic variable effort components? if i go with that, how will it affect my steering?

I got the duralast rack when mine was leaking (previous owner ran power steering through it and killed it), and it came with the smaller bushings which were much harder than the stock lexus ones. I already had urethane bushings so I put them in, but they do come with new bushings/races for the two on the drivers side.
For the EVO solenoid, MAKE SURE TO EITHER REPLACE OR SWAP OVER [U]BOTH[U] OF THE O-RINGS!! ask me how I know... Either way if you have high miles in the northern states it may be pretty stuck on there so swap it all while the rack is out to make life easier.

I would definitely replace the bushings while you are doing the rack. I know prothanes are good, but I changed mine with the Whiteline Racing bushings and it made a huge difference.
