This is the only one I remember, Duke. Although it doesn't have anything to do with delrin:

Do the delrin bushings also fit manual racks?

I think it was a WTB. That's pretty funny, though. Shut down. As if no one knows you around here, spoolin. Someone took out the trash. lol.

Haha. Very weird... that thread actually had some useful stuff in it and it was just wiped away. Memership or not, useful threads should never be deleted.

Well, now that we got that out of the way, what are people's opinions? I have heard from the 928 forums that delrin rack bushings can make a world of difference. Is there anyone who has used them?

I would not expect them to change how the steering feels on a stock car.
But when you have removed every other rubber part in the suspension and runs low profile r-compound tires with stiff sidewalls it makes sense to change these bushings too.

Yes. On the track it makes a noticeable difference. I highly recommend it.

Are the delrins at all noisy, or do they require any lubrication?
So lets make this clear, This is a good track mod not necessarily something needed for the street ?
