Default this bushing is ripped.

i think this is the tie rod bushing?

how to go about replacing this? do they sell just the bushing or sell the unit as the whole thing?

that is the tie rod outter...just buy tein tie rods or buy another oem tie rod. spl also sells outters as well.

search tie rods and review my drifting 101 thread in the drifting motorsports forum.


also, as a public warning. please stop making a post for EVERY single thing. you could have made a single post to discuss all your bushing issues...

VERY interesting didnt even know what tie rods did.

so i guess the advantages of tein tie rods or spl is.. stronger and more turning angle?

is that about it? does steering feel change at all?

seems like SPL makes inner and outer??

Its just a grease boot, no bushings. You can also buy a grease boot from energy suspension for a lot cheaper than swapping out the whole tie rod. Also with just the boot, there is o need for anignment after.
