I own a 2000 mustang, manual.. and i took it in the shop to get a front end alignment & i was told i need rubber bushings in the steering rack... what are they!? I've asked around and no one seems to know....my car pull all over the road & the shop told me that would be bc i need the rubber bushings...and where can i get them?? and are they easy to put in?
Disregard the previous replies since they don't help much and kelly doesn't seem to follow what bushings you are talking about. I know the ones you speak of.
There are 2 bushings that go through the steering rack itself where the rack bolts to the K-member supporting the engine. Factory bushings are rubber and tend to flex a lot then dry-rot over a few years. There's a company called Energy Suspension that makes these bushings out of polyurethane. They are a lot stiffer and last longer than rubber.
Here's a link to your application.
From here on out if you need information on your Mustang don't ask here on Yahoo as these people know not what they speak of. Go to the site I list below. The Corral is one of the oldest, if not THE oldest Mustang website on the internet.
