If I was to go the Whiteline steering rack bushes, is the B4 KSR200 or KSR202. About $45 for Whiteline, unless someone knows a cheaper place or another recommendation.

 

Also is there any benefit to sticking to rubber (genuine) bushes? I stuck to rubber for my swaybar to avoid noise issues. Trying to fork off a knock in my steering, which is better since the service, but still there.

nolathane, and I'm pretty sure Superpro make these, too.

The superpro website has the wrong part listed under BE/BH - but I'm pretty sure I bought superpro some years back.

Oh ok, SPF2580K is the part number coming up for the SuperPro bushes.

 

41095 for the Nolathane.

 

I just need to know which to go for, and whether the B4 is 25 or 30mm on the passenger side.

Don't know why the superpro website has that image of random pieces, but it looks like you have the right P/N.

No idea if 25 or 30mm is what you need - you might need to crawl under the car and check.

cheaper on fleabay

Just had a quick look at partsouq using the wife's MY02 RX VIN.

 

If you wanted to go rubber, looks like the OEM bushes are cheap at about $5US each.

According to Opposed Forces the B4 has (34115FA001, 34115AA070), I think either the non-turbo are the 25mm, turbo 30mm, or its a revision change. Just not confirmed atm.

I'd say a revision change, but it's just a guess.

 

That first number comes up at USD$4.94.

 

Wonder what Screwbaru Oz would charge?

$30 from Pedders. Had them in stock.

 

Nothing about 25mm or 30mm... just told them my car details and I got the right part.


I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

I winged it and went the Super Pro, SPF2580K. Bracket was definitely 30mm on the passenger side. What a cvnt of a job to change the square one with the rack still on the car lol. In total I spent about $36, punched myself in the face undoing bolts and a lifetime supply of grease.

 

Steering does feel better and the noise appears to come from my pads which have shrunk and click into place until they heat up enough.
