[QUOTE="Taz, post: 7720412, member: 2127"] Aluminum rack bushings will help improve your car's turn-in response. Installation doesn't require any suspension disassembly. All the work - what little there is - is right at the steering rack. Just raise the front of the car, remove the rubber rack bushings, slightly shorten the sleeves for the bushing bolts, and install the new aluminum bushings. It's a 30-minute job. The difference will be noticeable, but a more dramatic improvement in steering precision and response can be made by replacing the intermediate shaft with one that eliminates the huge rubber rag joint that is is part of the OEM design. Aftermarket designs, such as the Borgeson part, are constructed with two U-joints, instead of a single U-joint and a rag joint. Replacing the intermediate shaft is also very simple, but takes a little longer, maybe an hour, because you need to remove a few pieces of dash trim to get at the top pinch bolt. [/QUOTE]
