Polyeurathane replacement steering rack bushings are now available on fleabay for $40. Look at item #7983131019

BTW, I am not affiliated with this seller in any way whatsoever. Good luck.

oy, well if you did a search Vlamos steering rack bushings are also available for around the same price.

I installed some bushings from vlamos on mine and they worked great. I'd trust them a lot more than fleabay too.

but oh well, tell us how those poly bushings work out!

Well, rain on his parade why dontcha

just tellin him what his alternative may have been if he waited a lil bit.

but cheers! I'm sure the ones you bought will be fine!

I don't think the steering rack bushing being poly really matters honestly, after seeing where it goes and what it does I'm thinking poly might even be better because of the longevity and durability. But yeah man, in this particular application I don't think one or the other is better, just a matter of what you want and can afford. I know when I had my steering issues a few weeks ago I wanted whetever I could get my hands on the fastest to fix the issue. Luckily someone I knew had extra Vlamos rack bushings laying around so I was in luck. Good luck guys

Is there a distributor for the Vlamos bushings in Southern California, or the U.S? I will only install the Vlamos. High praises from our brothers down under. They use their Soarer`s for both racing and commuting and have found them to be far superior to the urethane bushes. The environment and roads seem to be a lot worse than ours here in the states too.

You order them directly from andrew vlamos. Shoot him an e-mail and he'll give you the total, depending on echange rate it should be around $60-75 shipped.

I just got my front UCA and steering bushes from Vlamos for about $330 including shipping.
Now to get them installed, along with the Supra LCA's they're sitting next to... any volunteers
