Recieved mine quickly, they are sturdy and fit perfectly. Only 5 months to go to find out if they make a difference..... Thanks Bruce!

These are PETG plastic bushings to reduce play in the steering. They are added to the deflector nozzle where the steering rod connects.

Previously I had offered a longer version that used one bushing per steering nozzle. These are half length allowing for one to be used from the top and one from the bottom providing a flange on both ends.

Four are needed for installation. The fifth is a spare.

This is where the bushings discussion started - Adding bushings to steering deflector nozzle to increase precision (remove slop)

I recommend adding marine grease or silicone grease on all surfaces when you install these. I use a small syringe minus the needle to apply the grease.

To order click the "Buy now" button in the top right corner or click on this sentence which will take you to PayPal.

Yes.

There are full length and half length versions. The full length version covers the entire length of the bolt with a flange on top. The half length allows having a flange top and bottom. I have used both and do not notice a difference.
