Construction & Design:
The Cusco Steering Rack Bushing is crafted from high-grade urethane, a material chosen for its excellent balance of stiffness and durability. Unlike the original rubber bushings, urethane maintains its shape and performance characteristics under stress, resisting deformation and degradation from heat, oil, and road contaminants. This ensures consistent steering feel and longevity over the life of the product.
Precision molding and tight tolerances guarantee a secure fit around the steering rack, eliminating unwanted movement without introducing harshness or excessive vibration. The design focuses on enhancing chassis rigidity in the steering system while preserving smooth operation and driver comfort.

No special tools or modifications are necessary, making it accessible for experienced DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike. The bushing fits perfectly on the steering rack of the 2013–2021 Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, and Toyota 86 models, ensuring proper alignment and function.
For best results, it is recommended to inspect the steering rack and related components during installation and replace any worn parts to maintain optimal steering performance.
