Required Mod!
This mod should be required for everyone that has non-stock wheels.
I had these bushings sitting in my trunk for the last 6 months or so. Finally decided to put them in today. When I took out the old ones, they looked practically NEW to me, even after 122,000 miles. I didn't think the new ones were going to make any difference.
BOY was I wrong! You guys are all right - the steering is unbelievable now. Tracks straight, better return to center, better feel, NO play at all, less vibration, more control of car. Just can't believe these made that much difference.
I had a problem getting the top driver side bushing out, took me an extra hour after I got a long file wedged in there and couldn't get it out (I was trying to use it to hammer the thing through). Pretty easy otherwise.
THe difference is hard to imagine. This may be the best bang/buck mod ever.
