I do have 264k on the clock. Maybe it's time for a rack replacement. Could be detrimental to my spirit if I change bushings only to realize the rack itself is going south.
Apologies for hi-jacking.
While I am looking to replace steering rack bushings, I'll be doing the following as well...
* UCA's (Cruiseroutfitters)
* Lower ball joints (Cruiseroutfitters)
* Wheel bearings (Cruiseroutfitters)
* Diff drop (Cruiseroutfitters)
I left a message with WhiteLine. Will see what they say and report back. Thanks again for your input.
Reading all the older posts about replacement bushings, I thought this would be a slam dunk.
Placed order with SuperPro, as they showed them in stock. I immediately got a response that they...
Thanks for the quick response. However, mine is a 2005. The bushings linked above are for the earlier racks.

Just a wire cup brush on the angle grinder. No chems. I'll go over them again with a pad on the die grinder to finish them off. Then a degreaser and wipe clean. That's prob as far as I can take them. Decided to press the wheel studs out so I could clean around them better. I needed one or two...
Finally got a chance to work on the 40. Started cleaning up some items and the axle housing.
Safety bulletin: Wear appropriate attire when using power tools. I had on a tee shirt, grinder kicked back and grabbed my shirt. Wire brush ran up my stomach. Have a nice painful strawberry now. Scary...
My camera battery died faster than usual. Caught me by surprise so I missed some opportunities. Not my best year of filming. I'll be better prepared next time.
Good to see everyone last night. We discussed meeting at a different venue for a few months. Maybe start a quarterly rotation of venues. I think Travis is going to check with a contact at one or two places, and Paul is checking with one of his contacts. Barley's was mentioned, and Central...
