Uprated Steering rack bushes
 

Other than using 2 LHS ones from here:

http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/pr...ck-bushes.html

Does anyone know of any other bushes available?

If not, anyone interested in trying to get DW's to get their supplier to make a batch of LHS ones?

http://www.mmr-direct.com list steering rack bushes for the S12 but I have no idea if they are the right animal or not. Plus they take quite a while to ship stuff and can be a pain in the arse to get hold of. I've not heard of people not receiving their stuff in the end though.

i need some badly..... if anyone orders any i'll have a set to save on shipping/ make the numbers up, etc

Well DW's said that they couldn't sell 2 LHS ones idividually which I believe should do the job. However if we got enough of us for say 10 LHS's then maybe they'd be willing to contact their supplier.

Kimble had gripes with MMR, so yeh, they're a last resort

put me on the list for a pair,cheers.:)

Correct me if I'm wrong then:

30psi - 1 set
Jackiechan - 1 set
Datdrift - 1 set
S13Eater - 1 set

yeah count me in

cheers mart;)

i think i would take a set as well

the two bushes are different are they not?? so how would it work have 2 of the same bushes??

Other than a locating tab on the driver side bush they're otherwise the same.

Obviously I will check that they will work (I have an S13 rack and subframe to compare)

Not sure I really need them, but I'm happy to make up the numbers!

the bushes on the rack that i took off of my mk1 are different in the way that one is in 2 halves and the bracket is more pointed and the other bush is in a recess and in 1 piece.

i would have said they look the same as the s13 kit with lhs and rhs?

If they are different then that counts me out.

Well I'll leave it until I check whether both are the same size or not. Maybe the driver side one is slightly larger on the PAS rack?

i'll go and check for you in a min.

Ok, get a pic if ya can

i just had a quick look at my old rack, and the bushes are different, the pass side one seems to just be a circle shape, while the drivers one is angled upwards a bit....pic might show what i mean......

Ah ok, that suggests that the S13 kit should work. Look the same shape to me.

If using a manual rack you would need 2 LHS bushes and clamps

Nice DB power rad there mate :)

i had a quick look on club-s12 last night, and they seem to think that the s13 ones are too thin?

they use some 'window weld' stuff which seems to be some kind of polyurethane paste which sets hard, they make a mould or summit.....they also fill their rear subframe mounts with it. not sure if we get a similar product over here?

Yeh that stuff is called Flexane.

just need to find someone with a set of s13 bushes and see if they are the same or to thin, does anyone know how much a standard set are???

standard s13 ones are about £11 each and can be bought individually
