I need to change me steering rack bushings ASAP,I'm just not too sure which set to get.
My options are
Figs-polyurethane
Sewell-polyurathane
Ricochet-polyurathane
Battle version-Aluminum
Or any others....
Im not going to waste time trying to get daizen.If anyone have any reviews about these or any others please let me know.

Thanks

 

I just ordered this , not delivered yet.

There's also Whiteline but they were out of stock at the place I was looking so I got SuperPro polyurethane - SPF1193-47K (Australian brand).

Can there be much difference between the poly brands?

 

Any one of these.

Figs-polyurethane
Sewell-polyurathane
Ricochet-polyurathane

 

Just installed battle versions last night. They took out the slop in my wheel without adding any vibrations or harshness. I recommend these as they'll never wear out.

 

how do you know if the bushings need replacing?? and how long does it take to do the swap?

 

I went for an alignment and after that the only way my gs went straight is if i turn the steering slightly to the right,i took it back twice for them to check it and then the mechanic showed me the rack moving 1/4" when he turned the wheel and the rubbers looked dead.
From all the reading I've been doing I think it takes about an hour.

 

Did you change the bushing that goes around the cylinder?

 

What do you think about aluminum?

 

I didn't change that one. The two solid ones should be enough to hold it still.

 

Ok I'm thinking abt getting these...how much did you pay?

 

Check their website. I think I paid $50 shipped

 

Battle version website sold out....

Are these at drift motion the same? There in stock.

 

I replaced my steering rack bushings last in January 2012 with whatever Sewell Lexus sold at the time. Not sure if they were OEM Lexus, or polyurethane. My steering is once again very sloppy (like Jello). The dealership said that it is the steering rack bushings, but there is nothing wrong with them. He said I should by aftermarket polyurethane bushings as they will prevent the rack from moving as in the case with the softer OEM parts. This is whats confusing, Im not sure if the tech. realized I have pollyurathane already, or if they are in fact the rubber OEM bushings. Are the OEM bushings still available?I have heard of Daizen and SuperPro around the Supra community, how are they for our GS's? Most important to me is quality.

 

Go with Figs!

Thanks for your suggestion. I did check out their website a little while ago. However, I am having a hard time understanding how a solid bushing could work. The point of a bushing is to eliminate vibration in my opinion, and until recently I have never heard of solid steering rack bushings. If you don't mind, could you please let me know the pros and cons of the solid rack bushings? I'm in the dark on this one. It would seem as if you would want something that cushions the rack.
