Polyurethane Rack & Pinion bushings

Has any of you tried using polyurethane bushings on the rack and pinion? Does it make any squeaking noise after a year of usage? Does it make the steering more precise and responsive because in theory it should.

I had polyurethane bushings on my 99 Miata and it was a day and night difference. It gave my Miata razor sharp steering. I liked it so much that I want to do it for my 4Runner too but I just want to be sure I get the proper intended results.


I also found these great shops in LA....

Rack & pinion rebuild ($150 oem parts and labor) on 4th gen 4Runner. They will rebuild your steering rack for only $150 and they will press the bushings in for you if you bring them the polyurethane bushings.

I found this dude who charges $500 -$1000 to rebuild rear diff...
Ramjet Rear End Repair They will also allow you to do WPC treatment on all the gears inside the rear diff.




They seem very legit. I am gonna try them out.
