19th Mod, Steering Rack Bushings

This mod replaced the OEM steering rack bushings with stiffer new ones.













Basically the steering rack is a tube. The steering linkage feeds in the top, and the tie rods come out each end.

When you turn the steering wheel the rack pushes and pulls the tie rods in and out to make the car turn.

The rack tube is held in place with to C chaped clamps with a bushing in each.

This mod repaces the OEM bushings with stiffer ones to remove some of the play in the steering to make it more crisp.

I would say the mod was well worth the $33 price tag, and the 40 minutes to install.

I used the following write up to do it, and it was very helpful, thanks again Peaty.
