Steering Spacers And Other Steering Precision Mods

[CEF11E]

I would like to improve the feel of my steering and would like some opinions on what are the best upgrades.

Currently I only have minor suspension mods. whiteline springs, shcoks and swaybars. all my bushes are factory and are in reasonable condition. there are no bumps, shakes or rattles. the steering just feels a spongy and not as responsive as it could. there is very little play and the rack in in good condition.

What are good ugrades to do to increase the response of the steering. and where can I get them from..

I was thinking steering spacer made of alluminium insted of the rubber one, new steering rack mounts.

what other bushes will improve the feel

I am a complete novice when it comes to steering and suspension. I know engines gearboxes and diffs but have never had anything to do with steering.

Thanks!

If you want more feel wind in some extra castor. Job done.

alloy steering bush will make a big difference in feel

also seen replacement rack mounting rubber bushes made from alloy or nolthane probably worth getting

adjustable castor rods are also a good idea for one of the first mods you should do

I would be going with increased castor, helps a lot and the wheel self centres faster

I had been thinking about castor rods. but have been told by 2 workshops and SK that spherical bearings are not a good idea.

can someone recommend any? also where to buy steering spacer?

Get the Whiteline castor bushes from the groupbuy, or they make an adjustable rod aswell, with bushes, not spherical bearings.

Steering spacer can be bought off a guy on here, NV_N01, $30 if I remember right, but PM him and get the proper price.
