    After 330,000 miles I think my rack bushes should be replaced. Never done this before. Is it easy and does the rack stay in place?

    Any information welcomed.

    Are you talking about the the U shaped ones where it mounts to the subframe?

    easy peasy, undo the 2 nuts holding U clamp and slip bush out/in. pas only has the one bush on the 'easy' side so no problem. part number is 191422884, and its even a split bush so you dont have to slide it up the rack either. only slight tricky thing is theres a balance tube running along the back between the boots so just take care to seat that in the new bush
