Product Details
This Whiteline Steering Rack and Pinion Mount Bushing Kit fits the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 (XE10). Included: 5 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is W13389.
The steering rack is held to the chassis by bushings, and every input you make at the wheel passes through them. Rubber ones soften with age and can be degraded further by oil leaks, so the rack is allowed to shift under load and the steering feels less precise. A firmer rack mount bushing reduces that movement.
Expect a moderate job of about 2.5 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the IS300, see Rear Adjustable Toe Control Arms, Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing Kit, and Rear Lower Inner Front Control Arm Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
