Features & Product Details
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.

While I had my rack down for pinion seal repair, it was convient to upgrade these bushes. What a difference! While not taking out al of the compliance, and not as hard as metal bushed, this is the perfect upgrade for those who want to feel what the tire is doing off center. Ran them on a track day and I had much more confidence and feedback. Downside is that I fet more of the bumps on street and track as this amplified the reflected intertias into the steering wheel. Very smart upgrade for those who was less of a civilian feel to their Subaru
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.
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.
Honestly, i didn't see too much of an improvement especially considering the difficulty of the install.

A: Unfortunately I do not show that this kit is compatible with any 2010+ Legacy models and I do not show there are any steering rack bushing kits available for those models at this time.
