Steering rack bushes

[Jonff]

Bought a couple of steering rack bushes from West Renault as I plan on replacing them once the weather gets better. In the kit though there's a 13mm bolt with each bush, what are those for? As the 4 bolts holding the rack to the subframe are 16mm bolts.

Also while I was under there I decided to crack the 4 16mm bolts off just to save myself a bit of time when I do the job, doesn't the ARB need dropping down? Just I can't see there being enough room to get the bolt out and past the ARB while it's still in place.

Just do a search for rack bush and loads come up. There's no actual guide but I think chip did explain in a thead I saw a while a go

I have done and seen them all mate. I'll suss a way on how to get the bolt out, it was the random 13mm bolt I got with the kit I was mainly asking about as it doesn't seem to have any relevance to the rack bushes.

Figured what that bolt is for now lol, and why the ARB being in place won't cause any issues for fitting the bushes.
