I'll take them. Let me know the best way to send the money.

Why did you go back to stock? I thought these were almost as smooth as the stock bushings

Adamant1971

IMO they transmit more vibrations. It's a hard bushing, it's to be expected.

After driving my car with both I prefer the new stock bushings.

Adam, excellent choice. New OE bushings are the way to go.

And I was changing the rack so new bushings were already in it.

IMO for the track or no pot hole roads (in dream land) they would be great, else you need a bit of give there.

Interesting discussion ... I had Delrin bushes in my old rack, and when Sean replaced it he recommended sticking with the new OE bushings and not re-using the Delrins.

Couldn't really tell much difference, steers beautifully either way.

I think I'll remove the Delrin bushings and install new OEM. Reason - the thick shoulder of the Delrin bushings lower the rack, setting the steering wheel off a few degrees...and probably the toe angle (?)

I think i've still got yours in my tool box too.

If the factory bushings are good, leave them in. I'm not a fan of trying to remove brand new bushings to put these in. I've had delrins in my car (Rogers version 1) and after 8 or so years, still love them. If they are shot and the rack is still good, toss these in and you will be the better for it.

Does the extra vibration come in through the entire dash, or just the steering wheel. I figure a mod like this is probably only really worth it on a manual car

SeanR

I've never noticed any vibration on any of the cars I've put them on.

The Delrin just increase your "road feel" they don't increase vibration that isn't there already. I love mine, but will admit, I'm a touchy-feely driver. I like the added sensitivity. I also am a total fan of the Eibach-Biltstein setup on the suspension which others have criticized as a bit harsh. It's a little stiff to be sure, but the handling I've got now (with good tires) is frankly obscene.
It's a personal thing. Dial it as you like it.

LOL - just made the same decision, same reason!
