They're shot. You have to replace them.

I had the same problem, replaced the steering rack bushings along with new control arms, it's a night/day difference, especially if you're running coilovers as well. The mechanic showed me the old bushing, it's just too soft and basically built to fail within 60-70k miles....go with the daizen kit!!

Well that's hard to say,

I got all this installed for $800:

New Lower Control arms for the front, daizen front and rear camber kits, front and rear swaybar bushings by daizen, steering rack bushing, and alignment

There is a how to on just the steering rack somewhere on this forum...

I'm guessing the steering rack bushings should be pretty cheap as the install is rather straightforward if that's all you're looking at...

I was told that it takes 10 hours to replace brushings, 3 hours to remove each side 2 hours to replace ruber parts and 3 hours to put it back.
