Machined steering rack bushing to reduce radial play in the steering rack.
Please tell us more
I have an old rack that needs to be rebushed, even though all the seals were replaced
Auxiliary bushings, machined to fit, that limit radial movement of the steering arms.
They have two functions: 1) a ‘patch’ for racks that are not rebuilt with the ZF rebuild kit or have a lot of internal wear and 2) limit radial arm movement even better than a brand-new rack.
The effect is more-direct steering feel at the HMI (steering wheel and hands.)
However, as I understand it, they must be machined, fitted, reworked iteratively to match each end of each rack. You can’t just make a bunch of them and just use them.
