Trust me, I searched first with minimal success. Can someone tell me how easy it is to replace the steering rack bushings on an LC or send the link to a previous post? Mine has a funny pull to the left... 321k, pavement princess but pulls my boat a lot. Dealer realigned it but no change... brought it home, pulled the drivers side front wheel and sure enough if you moved the wheel the steering rack would lift noticeably. Passenger side not so much if any. The rack isn't leaking so no need to pull it. Didn't pull the skid plates for a deeper look yet.

Any advice on replacement parts much appreciated !!!
 
I ordered poly bushings since that’s our only option (or was at the time I replaced mine a few years ago). This was one of my first jobs I did on my 100 and it wasn’t difficult other than having to lay on the ground for a while. The most frustrating part was one bolt had like two threads exposed so blindly attempting to put the nut on was a b****!
