Steering rack bushings for 2003 Birkin S3?

[magazineman]

Hey Guys, My Birkin S3 needs new steering rack bushings. The rack is made by LARA in Italy & their website/numbers are pretty cryptic!  And the Birkin USA dude in Colorado does not have the parts. Have any of you ever sourced the correct bushings within the US?   THX! ----Perry.

You could try & see if Dick Brink has any laying around

Dick sold his parts inventory in one group.

I'm not familiar with your rack but in general, new rack bushings can be cast using polyurethane using the old ones by adding a layer of foam tape where they've compressed and making a plaster mold, 3d printed in a variety of materials, or solid mounted without bushings.

Hi, Guys.  I've had a local shop adapt a bushing from another application to work on my steering rack. It's not a flawless match in fitment, but should get me back on the road. Thanks for all your input! ---Perry.
