I installed some whiteline steering rack bushings today and it only took me about 1.5 hours to do. I would say the pain in the ass is getting the bracket pushed off to the side on the driver side bushing but I managed to bend the steering pump lines a little so they werent so close not too much though because they can crack.

As far as performance wise they make the steering more firm and it responds better on sharp turns so for only $30 it is a worth while mod. Plus compared to the stock ones these will last 10 times longer and if you are running a bigger rim they would probably help too.

I might add the grease provided is very helpful in getting the drivers one on, and repleasing the stearing linkage too.
