Well remindedAny news on K11 steering rack bushes Andy?
nylon on the front 1 (the white one in the pic) and poly on the other 2 (the yellow ones) is the best for a daily imo, when you floor the car the wishbone is forced forwards and because the poly ones have a s/s insert that is,nt bonded to the poly, that poly flange was chewed away within weeks on mine (the stock insert is bonded into the rubber, so you dont get that wear problem)Aye I've lobbed nylon ones in myself. Nylon everywhere
Just the rear one to try and make some time![]()
Hint hint hahaWell reminded![]()
the k10 rubber rack mounts are notorious for failing the mot anyway andy, and you have to be careful with the poly bushes that have the (unbonded) s/s insert eh, because the forces are concentrated in 1 small area (the big arrow) where-as with a bonded bush the rubber is pulling and pushing against the forces (the little arrows)Mines got the standard rubber rear at the mo. Have to say its not too bad, steering rack bushes are more important for me first, eliminate the slack you get while the bushes take initial load, its minimal but will help![]()
Must've been lucky for me then as my rack bushes are in good nick, but they are only a year or 2 oldthe k10 rubber rack mounts are notorious for failing the mot anyway andy, and you have to be careful with the poly bushes that have the (unbonded) s/s insert eh, because the forces are concentrated in 1 small area (the big arrow) where-as with a bonded bush the rubber is pulling and pushing against the forces (the little arrows)
which is why i have advised members to go for the very stiff grade of poly, on a few threads on here
