Never use offset rack bushings on a stock K-member. Never





Why offset rack bushings are a bad idea for stock K-members

Although sold by many as a supposed cure for bumpsteer, installing offset steering rack bushings on a stock K-member make an acceptable situation far worse than if you had done nothing at all. How do we know this? Because we did testing. We measured the bumpsteer, both with and without offset rack bushings. Our test results were first published in the July 1993 issue of Super Ford. Find more information about bumpsteer and available kits.

Put offset rack bushings in my Capri. Ran my steering shaft too close to the header. Found out later the column could be loosened and moved some. But I had already taken them out. Its also a 351w so the clearance aint much.
I wanna see the steering 20 turns lock to lock LMAO..sorry.
