Steering rack bushings

[adampecush]

Would it be worth sourcing extra long bolts for the clamps?

Stockers work just fine if you align everything properly.

If the bushings aren't aligned, the "clamps" won't close all the way, and further tightening will only serve to bend the shit out of everything.

So all you guys have installed the RK steering bushings?

I'm wondering as well, has anyone installed any other brands? Are there any other brands available for steering rack bushings, out of curiousity?

Got em in my car.

 

[ms07s]

Yup RK here. Got mine from SupraSport Ala Carte. I don't know if Energy has a complete kit for us yet.

 

[Poodles]

Energy doesn't have rack bushings for our cars yet, though they thought some other toyota bushings would work

Damn that's so clean Adam!

Going to be a bit of a shame to drive it and make it dirty.

You havbe it on good authority they would fit or do they just seem similar? I'm curious, I like finding other car parts that are interchangeable.

I need these badly. It's a fight to keep my car straight on uneven roads:cry:

 

[Guyana00]

PM ronnie if you need them right away. I don't need mine yet I'm lurking around to find anyone who wants to sell theirs back until my time comes, if I don't get them I'll go straight to the source as well!

Get them! Hate to see all that work get destroyed for a part thats under $100.

I've been badgering Ronnie; they'll be here in 6-12 days.

There are probably other problems if you're fighting to keep the car straight, check your suspension geometry, those huge rims are bound to change a few things.

The wheels are probably the main cause, but I do know that the bushings are toast. Any other suggestions to stabilize the steering on a car with wide offset rims? Camber? I'm eager to reduce this problem.

Toe

 

[tekdeus]

Toe

Can you elaborate?

 

[IJ.]

You asked what will help your car steer with the offset rims, Toe is what you need to look at front and rear as you've changed the scrub radius stock settings aren't going to cut it.
