Product Details
This Whiteline Steering Rack and Pinion Mount Bushing Kit fits the 1995-1999 Hyundai Accent (X3). The kit contains 2 bushings. Order it as part number KSR217. The chassis code on the listing is X3.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1.5 hours of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Accent: Front Sway Bar Washer Kit and Front Motor Mount Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
