Steering bushing is here and installed
Re: Steering bushing is here and installed
The shaft itself moving around inside the race. No more up-down-left-right slop on mine.

FUC$ well that was a waste of time and money then....
the outside of the bushing had to be machined down by 1.5 mm which was the smallest they could take off the diameter....it was probably .5mm too much.
oh well at least its not worse then the original....and it won't get any worse over time.
can you try to put into numbers how much yours was moving before you switched it...like how many mm one way or the other?

Instead of using a cutting bit they should've just used some sandpaper or something like that and a lathe.

Re: Steering bushing is here and installed
Is it still possible to order this steering bushing?
Re: Steering bushing is here and installed
I do believe so, it's a stocked part there.
I have a new one that came in 2 pieces I haven't installed it yet....well cuz I've driven the car 2 times in the entire summer so meh.

Silver, that is tragic. I think I've driven nearly every day for the last two months. It never gets old for me. And yes, it was HOT.
Now is the best driving weather of the year.
