Steering Damper Bushing, All Models
|
|
|
Steering Damper Bushing, All Models is the bushing that is pressed into the arm the steering damper is bolted through. It's responsible for absorbing steering shock, and allowing the parts to pivot and twist during the mechanics of steering.This part is ALWAYS worn out. It's also inexpensive, but a bad one can cause massive headaches and wear out tie rod ends, not to mention ruin tires. Coat this with Talcum Powder or Baby Powder and it slips in fairly easily, that won't degrade the rubber like petroleum based lubricants will!
