So...steering rack bushings. Talk about...man it was such a pita to push these out with the wrong tools. I was at my parents so I was limited on tools. I had to use a c-clamp to partially push out my bushings... Then I installed the wrong sleeve in the center bushing...apparantly they gave me two and one was just 1mm too small for the center bolt. And I installed the wrong one costing me another 30 minutes...anyway...

Also went ahead and did the sway bar bushings since I had to remove it. I do recommend either keeping the endlinks connected or the brackets connected. Trying to maneuver both to reinstall is almost impossible. There was alot of cursing involved. Anyway steering response...excellent. It's so light on its feet now and and tracks pretty straight after I had the alignment done. Just have the rear brakeline and rear sway bushings left. I'm also pretty beat up from all this work in one week so it'll be a bit of time before I install anything else...
