Any vibration or noise with MM's Al rack bushings?

[Erick]

I'm interested in getting rid of this sloppy factory steering but I don't want anymore noise or vibrations than I already have. Do the MM aluminum steering rack bushings add a lot of noise or vibration? Thanks!

Nope, they don't make any noise...

If you've got squeaky steering in addition to the slop, then I'd replace the steering racks bolt sleeves also. You'll have to cut them so that they are flush to the front of the k-member anyway when you install the MM aluminum rack bushings. You can get them from Ford for about $7.35 apiece unless you go through Tousley. The MM setup is designed to completely eliminate vibration and noise.

I do have a steering squeak when turning right at low/no speed. Does the MM kit replace the sleeves? I haven't looked at the online instrustions yet at MM's website.

Nevermind,
I just read the instructions. Looks super simple. Thanks guys for the advice!!!

They are a great product. No squeels at all, no vibrations.
I love mine. Only thing you'll notice is tighter steering response.
