Hi, I've searched high and low looking for solid steering rack bushings. I've found the e/s ones but I'm looking for a solid bushing. I've seen them for 240s and supras.

 

I have only seen the ES ones, i also have a set of ES ones, just need to install them some day. Probably waiting for a motor pull to do it.

 

Wouldn't be hard to make. I think... I don't have a lathe but you think it would be worth doing ?

 

Probably not, there is not much to them. Just run the ES versions.

 

Anyone tried these? https://us.gktech.com/350z-g35-solid...ng-rack-bushes

 

Unless your car is an exclusive track vehicle, solid aluminum is NOT the way to go (and even then...). They transmit every bit of road NVH into the steering wheel. Go with a high durometer elastomer based bushing (over aluminum in some cases) for cars that are operated on the street. Back in the day, even the C-Prod S30 guys ran very stiff rubber (offered through Datsun Comp or aftermarket) or poly bushings because 10 minutes into a session, solid mounts tended to get abusive on the hands and arms. Even the Formula cars I ran nor my DP roadster didn't even have solid mounts. IMO.

 

Thanks. Will go with OEM
