Has anyone had any experience with this product? Does it actually improve turn in response, and if so, how much over stock? Seems like such a small modification wouldn't change much.

And if anyone's had experience with other rack bushings, please chime in too.

Thanks!

These precision-made bushings are CNC machined from heat-treated 6061 aluminum. Maximum Motorsports' research on bumpsteer proved that with a stock K-member, a center drilled bushing is best, whatever the ride height. When large changes in geometry have been made, as with the MM K-member, the correct use of offset steering rack bushings will relocate the rack to a position which makes it easier to correct the bumpsteer with the MM Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends.

We don't recommend offset rack bushings for stock K-Members...

Offset steering rack bushings move the rack far too much on stock K-Members, and make an acceptible situation far worse than if you had done nothing at all. See our test results in the July 1993 issue of Super Ford, the September 1998 issue of 5.0 Mustang, or call our tech line for more details.


says it right in the write up they will do nothing on a stock car but if your running an aftermarket k member they relocate the steering rack to the correct position due to them being offset bushings. but with a stock k member they will actually do nothing because thay move the rack too much and actually moves the suspension geometry to a place where its not supposed to be .

That was incredibly unhelpful and illadvised.

They don't recommend offset rack bushings.

These aren't offset rack bushings.

you can get some regular urethane bushings which are just as good
