i wanted solid bushings and the ones from daizens are just like oem with the rubber and i was interested in seeing how well the aluminum ones hold up over time as we all the rubber will break down at some point.....but aside from that the aluminum ones give very nice response in the steering

umm, if you're implying daizens are rubber, they're not. polyurethane is no where close to rubber. they're much stiffer, much more durable than the stock rubber. it'd be a good choice if you wanted more response than the rubber, but didn't want the direct feeling of the aluminum/delrin/solid/whatever.

cool thanks, ya i have a 400 as well as got these, but i saw a previous thread that some dude said he had to drop the rack and what not, so i haven't installed them yet, but will take a second look right now to see what i can do. if i don't have any kind of leaks, would you recommend greasing/lubing them, or do they not need it?

Great, I was going to order the poly bushings but i think I'm going to get the aluminum ones instead. I'm not sure if this will help my problem though. When I turn hard right and back to straight, my steering wheel is cockeyed and when I turn hard left and back to straight, it's straight. Is it the steering rack bushing or something else?

For all who don't know you can get them from MVP Motorsports I have had nothing but good experiences with them and did not have to wait forever for them to be delivered! Oh and one other thing there's someone you can actually talk to I think they call that "customer service"...... Here's a link check it out:http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templa...209&SearchYN=N

i think i bought a similar kit as that one, but I don't think the strap-around bushing will fit on our steering racks.

You couldn't get yours to fit? What was the issue with the strap-around bushing?
