Turn in Concepts (TiC) solid aluminum steering rack bushings review

[2point0]

Cool, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks!

The price makes these really hard to pass up. But I start thinking about pressing out bushings and I suddenly get very lazy and don't want to do it.

It's easy. 2 jaw puller + a quarter to distribute the load on the bushing. 1hr job.

Dude. My laziness is a thing of legend. Don't underestimate.

And a 1 hr job usually turns into 2 or 3 hrs. I have no idea why.

Pay someone to do it. The labor will cost more than the part

I'm super lazy and hate bushings. 15 minutes to get it in the air and break the lugs. 10 minutes to do the undertrays. then about 20 minutes per bushings. It's SO easy man, cmon. Don't be a wuss.

Wuss.

Ha! Good call. The desire to spend as little money as possible is a motivator.

Ugh...all those bolts and clips. My back hurts just thinking about all this. Why don't you take a road trip like Chano and just do it for me? You'll get to see all the sights. It'll be great.

It took us way longer than it should because we had to do multiple trips to find the 1.5" I.D. pipe and 2. the grease I wanted to use (I'm sure the o-rings are nitrile but I didn't want to take any chances so I wanted to find a non-petroleum rubber compatible grease).

Doing it again I could get it done in less than an hour I think.

Bump from the dead. Thinking about getting the Battle Version rack bushings since the TiC units are discontinued. The Battle Version ones are solid hunks of aluminum. Two pieces for each side. Do these just slide in? Not too worried about getting the stock bushings out.
