Steering shaft bushing?

[babowc]

Who's done this??

As you guys would know, I'm still not done dropping the motor in the car.. pure lazyness.

BUT, since it's out, I guess I can tackle this..
I heard it's a bitch and a half to do?
Who's done it and any pointers??

btw.. the steering bushing is this:

I have not, but Ive always been curious on it. What exactly are the desired effects? Less steering slop?

[Nisxsz]

knowledge bump.

[babowc]

Yeah.. it's supopsed to help make your steering feel more solid..
hence the solid bushing.

stock stuff are rubber, probably all worn out and ish.
:( noone has done this yet?

[Nisxsz]

why don't you be the first?

[babowc]

lol, i suppose if noone's chimed in before I get the rack bushings too.. I guess i will be the first?..

I just got my car back, I installed one into my 240 while the motor was out and droping in the sr. From the old rubber one to the new steel one, there is a no play in the wheel. Love it. and loven the new sr.
