Steering Rack Bush

Post by GlanzaAtHeart »

Hi team,

Finally getting around to some smaller jobs that need attention - Steering rack bushes.

I've ordered the Powerflex steering rack bush kit as you can't buy OEM anymore (Only one side).

Now I know that the passenger's side is a split bush and it's 2 bolts for the bracket to come out, 2 bolts back in.

Is the driver's the same? By the looks of the diagram I can't see any split and it's a different shape so I'm worried that it won't come out easy.

Is the replacement the same? Like 2 bolt unbolt and you're sweet?
