Passenger side steering rack bushing? replacing

[mikez71]

I have a pretty noticeable clunk when making certain tight turns (faster U-turns etc)
I have found play at the passenger side steering rack bushing.. Can make it clunk by hand.
Purchased a GM replacement bushing,
Country of Origin = USA!?

it's a split rubber piece that looks like it was made in India..

How do I install it?

My guess..
Remove passenger tie rod from knuckle.
Undo accordion boot. Possibly need to remove tie rod end?
Unbolt passenger side bracket and slip it off?

Hoping it's easy if anyone has some tips...

I replaced mine with a poly bushing. It was a fight getting the poly bushing back onto the rack, hopefully the rubber is a little more forgiving.

You just unbolt the 2 bolts that hold the bracket and bushing in place and slide it towards wheel. You will have to slide the accordian boot over but you don't have to remove it completely, unless you want to.
It has been a few years since I did it.

I also installed a bracket into the bushings on the opposite end that are supposed to stiffen everything up.




They come as a kit on Amazon if you are interested.
