What is the Steering Rack Mounting Bushings all about?

The power steering rack is the part that converts the steering wheel input into a usable side-to-side direction. The steering gear, or steering rack, is mounted to the frame of the vehicle. Since mounting it directly to the frame would cause extreme road noise and a ‘noisy’ steering feel, it is mounted by means of steering rack mounting bushings. These steel sleeves surround every mounting point on your vehicle’s steering rack. The sleeves themselves are also wrapped in a neoprene rubber. Together, bushings are able to dampen the natural vibration that occurs when driving and allow you to operate your vehicle without having excessive road noise or feedback in the steering wheel. If the steering rack mounting bushings are worn or have come loose, you will have a clunk in your steering wheel and less responsive steering overall.

Keep in mind:

  • Have a wheel alignment performed after the steering rack (or "steering gear") mounting bushings are replaced.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle front wheels are put straight and the vehicle is lifted and supported on jack stands
  • The defective steering rack mounting bushings are removed
  • The new steering rack mounting bushings are installed
  • The front tires are installed and the vehicle is removed from jack stands
  • The vehicle is started and checked for steering rack operation

Our recommendation:

The steering gear or rack is checked with every suspension and steering inspection performed on your vehicle. The steering rack mounting bushings are included during those inspections. If the steering rack mounting bushings are identified as worn or loose, have one of our expert mechanics replace them.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Steering Rack Mounting Bushings?

  • Steering jerks are inconsistent
  • When you take bumps, you feel a “clunk” in the steering column

How important is this service?

Steering rack mounting bushings are essential for the operation of your vehicle. While you can definitely drive with bad bushings, poor steering control could end in an accident.

Lincoln MKT V6-3.5L Turbo - Brakes, Steering and Suspension Inspection - Las Vegas, Nevada
Really great experience. Got to see why he suggested replacing certain suspension components. I'm not used to that option when getting my car repaired.

Lincoln MKT V6-3.7L - Brake Pads Replacement (Rear) - San Antonio, Texas
Nothing short of outstanding. He showed up on time to replace my brake pads (as the inspector yesterday indicated that this was the reason for the grinding noise I was hearing). He answered my questions about what was wrong and how to tell; even showing me the part and how it worked. When he got to the replacing, he found that one of the rotors was badly in need of replacing. At no fault of his own, he didn't have that part, but we were able to run out and get it for him at O'Reily's Auto Parts. He completed all of the work in my garage and then took me for a test drive to be sure that the repair work was completed to my satisfaction. He was very professional and worked efficiently. I had the car serviced just days before with another yourmechanic who really dropped the ball, telling me that my rear brakes were fine, but when we had it reinspected, the second yourmechanic said that the pads were bad and that the first mechanic should have seen this. Yourmechanic remedied the problem so that at least financially it didn't cost me extra, however the resolution itself took a long time with no one returning phone calls from their 1800#.
