Hi I have a 1999 RB5,

The steering is very vague around the dead centre particularly worse turning left. Was thinking of getting a superpro complete suspension bush kit http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.u...productID=2493 from RCM.

Has anyone fitted them themselves? Is it a pig to do, i'm assuming some will need pressing out with a jig jobby.

cheers

I'd check your tyre pressures/alignment and then start with some whiteline steering rack bushes @ £20

RCM kit seems like a hammer to crack a nut IMHO.

thanks, will give the rack bushes a go first. I tend to get a bit carried away.
Tyre pressures done and already booked in for alignment.
Fingers crossed.

UK turbo's dont have the best steering feel anyway, even my MY00 when it was new had some "vagueness" in there when turning (felt very over assisted sometimes), so its a standard feature.
Now there is a difference between being vague and play, play means you turn the wheel and the wheels dont turn at the same time, vague is as above.

Yes, agree about not the best steering feel. This feels like play ontop of poor steering feel, where you turn from straight ahead and nothing happens until you've put a few degrees of turn in.
