Default Do I need new steering rack bushings?

I read through all the post on the steering rack DIY and I think I'm having similar problems.

My steering wheel wobbles like crazy from 40mph-65mph, like crazzzzzzy.

When I do a full lock/U-turn, I hear a loud thud

I thought it was my LCA's and swapped them out yesterday, got alignment this morning, but the shake is still there My UCA bushings seem good, all my ball joints seem ok, wheels are balanced, the steering rack is the last thing that can affect the steering shake right?


I wanna know what you guys think.

Oh and where does everyone get their bushings from?

Daizen steering rack bushings i think i got them from TM engineering.

I also forgot the reason why I got them.. cant remember if it was wobble or noise.

Good luck Tom, riding low n slow will make you take care of these parts more =)

The steering rack bushing are fairly easy to inspect and see if they have excess play.
