Ha ha ha. I get you. It is a PIA job. You will spend more time removing the splash tray (I think 2 dozen bolts than doing the actual service). But worth the 2 hours (remove and grease) because that bushing is not offered as a spare part yet it seems. And the added bonus, it'll quiet the...

Yep, fuel is my first thought. But like its been said, need a scan to narrow or pinpoint culprits.

No real torque spec as the cap serves as a spring tensioner against the bushing to steering rod. I've done this twice rack bushing twice (BMW and Supra). Essentially mark where it is now and replace flush with the rack housing. Take short drive. If too loose, tighten cap 1/16 turn clock-wise...

Thank you brother! 85km is about 53,000 miles.

@Branflakes123 - Kudos to you brother. Let us know how it goes. I super hope the F30-style bushing works just as well!

Hey guys, I’ve been chatting with a member on this board who was asking about the steering rack bushing. He just pulled his, and it looks like the attached photo. This bushing looks REALLY WORN. (I’m trying to get his mileage and model year.) The steering rack bushing has been a known issue...

My 2022 was clunking like mad at 25k miles. I swapped out the ceramic pads (as they rattled a bit) and replaced the upper and lower control arms (massive deflection). Noise persisted. But I found a thread on this forum and a guy mentioned he was chasing a clunking suspension noise. I pulled...

Yeah, A LOT more worn looking than mine at 25k miles on my 2022 Supra. I've spent a good 15-20 minutes online trying to find other Supra and BMW Z4 guys who pulled the bushing and added grease as well as part photos. No luck. The issue is so new, there's not a lot of info about it. I found the...

Ooof. I just did mine a few months back. I didn't think to take pictures. But the one on the left looks REALLY worn down!

Yep, oddly the F30/f32 ones work.

All the BMW F30/F32 tow hooks and straps screw right in. Rennline makes good ones, Bmw Motorsport too. Usually a few on ebay or Facebook for sale.

Do NOT tighten. Try loosing. The steering binds MORE when it is too tight. :)

Maybe give a full turn of the rack bushing to "looser". That thing very much affects steering feel.

I never really liked the factory alignment setting, which was more toe in front... so the wheels point in like this / \. This kills the turn-in responses, slows the front end down, and forces the car to oversteer/rear end kicks out. My theory, with this "snow-plow" of an alignment up front is...

Where are you in the UK? Might be a good idea to drop in on theSupra meet-up and give a few cars a listen. Drone is stupidly subjective. Heck, I have shoved sound material all over my trunk (rear boot) flooring and battery walls because the stock system drones quite a bit - to me. And given...

I'll buy it! I will DM you.

Well the rack bushing rattle/clunk can be reproduced by rocking the steering wheel back and forth. If it clunks, it's the bushing. I personally don't recommend just tightening it. The issue that causes the noise is lack of grease from the factory assembly. Tightening the force onto the bushing...

OK your video is normal if there's NO lock nut in place. The lock nut would keep the entire assembly from moving. I mean... it is the lock nut. :) But before we get to too far... any chance when you installed the plates... did you use an X-pattern when tightening the bolts? This assures all...

Wait. Man I feel dumb for not noticing this but... where's your lock nut? ( See Verus install video.... )

Wait the camber plate play. Send the video to Verus. That doesn't quite look right. I will assume from the video the allen nuts are seated and the movement is the bearing in it's cut-out?!
