Description
On this page, you are looking at the Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings.
The stock steering rack bushings are soft, allowing for the steering rack to have excessive movement. This movement disconnects the driver from the valuable feedback provided via the steering wheel. By upgrading the bushings you will notice quicker initial turn in and a better driving experience. As with all harder bushings, a bit more noise and vibration will be transferred into the vehicle compared to stock.
Note that because these bushings are stiffer, there may be inherent vibration. An install assist tool will be included to make these bushings ready for the installation.

Worth replacing if you don't drive straight
joejoe69 22 days ago
I replaced my power steering rack & pinion from the usual leak at the valve body and figured since I'm dropping the old one, I might as well upgrade the bushings on the new one. I don't know about you guys but I could feel a difference in initial response as the slop it greatly reduced. You don't have to fully remove your rack and lines to replace these, you can just drop it down about one and a half to two inches from the subframe and let the supplied sleeve tool do its job.
Great product BUT BE CAREFUL WITH REINSTALLING BOLTS
Marlowe 10 months ago
Product quality is great but installations do not include torque settings. Per manual, bolts need to be tightened at 44 lb-ft... I followed this and resulted into 2 stripped threads in the nut welded inside the subframe. Buy helicoils ahead of time just in case!!!!

Installed this along with the Cusco Steering Rack Brace, with both it definitely improved the steering response; taking away that unpredictable loose feeling. Great upgrade, not difficult to install with the right tools.
Hard to install if you don't know what you're doing

Honestly, i didn't see too much of an improvement especially considering the difficulty of the install.
Subtle but all positive
cameron1870380033 2 years ago
On my 08 spec b they enhanced the steering feel noticeably in a subtle way. Even during very low g turns/slight corrections to keep it straight, I feel much more precise fine modulation where i used to just feel wiggle room/uneasy dead space. This translates to much more confidence at the limit. Seems to handle rough surfaces with more surefooted certainty also. Zero increase in noise/harshness, there has to be more transfer of vibration, but from the drivers seat it feels like butter. My stock bushings looked to be in good shape at 70k and there's really not much soft bushing material to be replaced so I didn't expect much of a difference but am impressed.
