Product Details
This Whiteline Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing fits the 2008-2021 Subaru WRX STI Base (GR/GV/VA). This part is for the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: KSR207. Application note: Includes installation tool. Included: 6 bushings, 2 tubes, and removal tool. Trim named on the listing: Base.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the WRX STI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Rear Subframe Mount Bushing.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
