I installed mine today. (KSR202). Took a lot of slop out of the steering wheel. For $30 and 45 minutes out of my time, it was well worth it.

can you do any type of "how to" for the install?

There's a good tutorial on Scoobymods. Just search for "Whiteline".

So, would these do for steering feel what the SS bushings would do for shift feel? Just looking to get an idea of what these actually do.

I wouldn't say a significant of an improvement as when swapping out SS bushings, but enough to make me happy. SS front and rear bushings were way too good! Hopefully when I throw in the whiteline ALK it'll help even more.

i def recommend the steering rack bushings especially for 04's. My car used to have the dreaded highway wander but now it drives straight and true.

for a comparison the old bushings felt like a rubber watch band and the new ones almost have the rigidity of plastic. def high quality and def worth it.

I did mine with the 04 STi as well and it improved nicely.

Something to add to the spring install list, Murph?

I may eventually do these but with the newer design on the 05 up I believe it is not so necessary like on the older models.

I'm sure it did, but this thread is for steering rack bushings. Feel free to start a thread titled: Endlink Install, or whatever you'd like. The more active threads the merrier.

As for 05-up bushings Nate, I've heard the same thing. I've got the older design on my car, so the difference was noticable.

Have had these on my car for a 2-3 years. I love Whiteline bushings. A cheap gain and a nice improvement.

Yup for sure. 2002 Bushings were stupid sloppy. I did them on my old car. PITA to install but worth it.
