Tighten Up Vague Steering Feel With Precision Rack Bushings
Worn factory rack and pinion mount bushings let the steering rack shift under cornering loads, creating a vague, disconnected feel at the wheel. Whiteline's rack and pinion bushing for the Honda Civic is molded from a firmer polyurethane compound that locates the rack more precisely, sharpening steering feedback without changing the factory geometry. MPN W13409 is a direct fit replacement using the factory mounting hardware.
