Title: offset steering rack bushings
Post by: gt40pcat on April 28, 2005, 02:33:33 AM
Will i need the offset rack bushings?I have a 87 XR-7 and i'm going with the stock 87-88 turbo coupe springs and struts.Will they lower it enough to need the offsets or will the regular ones be fine?
                                                    Thanks in advance,
                                                              Joe

Ditto.  I've got the same springs on my car and did not need to offset the steering rack.

The won't fit anyway so the point is moot.. The 86-88's motor mount tab on the k-member interferes with the rack when attempting to use them.
