I have the rack and pinion bushings mentioned above. I also have the front and rear control arm bushings also. The steering definitely felt tighter and more responsive, but I don't know the main cause of that, plus the fact that I had about 200K miles on my old bushings even new rubber bushings probably would result in the same feeling.

These bushings are the last mods I did to my suspension. :wink:

Talked to Whiteline Distributor today (Global Performance in US). I've got WHITELINE PLUS BUSHINGS on order for the front arms and rear trailing arms. Also ordered the steering rack mount and bushing set (like the Super Pro Pic I posted above..only Whiteline Plus material).

I think Whiteline Plus material may be a better choice (compromise) here.
May take a month or so to get these from Australia...I ordered them as *expedited* shipping. I'll post impressions after they're all on.
