SuperPro Steering Rack & Pinion Mount Bushing Front for 1998-2008 Lexus LX470

Part fit great, fixed my weird steering issues

I had an issue with my 100 where it was sort of wandery and difficult to keep pointed in a straight line. Eventually realized the rubber bushings in the steering rack had completely separated from their metal shells, allowing the rack to move up and down about an inch.<br /><br />These fixed that issue, no more rack movement.<br /><br />Removing the old bushings is a complete pain - be aware before starting. I used an air chisel with both a chisel tip and a punch. Since my bushings were totally wrecked, I was able to pry the rubber centers out using various screw drivers. Then, I used the air chisel to bend the bushing shell inward, relieving the outward pressure on the steering rack hole. Then I pried the lower out, then used the punch bit to air hammer the upper metal sleeve out.<br /><br />The new ones weren't terribly difficult to get in. I put in the lower half, then put in the metal sleeve from above, then pressed in the upper half, and used a c-clamp to squeeze it all together enough to get the bolt, nut, and new washer on.<br /><br />Probably a roughly 2 hour job in total if you don't remove the rack from the car.
