Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing bushing dimensions and mounting style before installation. Compare the removed part to the V30-1293 measurements to confirm proper fitment on the steering rack mount. Inspect surrounding steering components, mounting points, and hardware condition during service so the replacement bushing seats correctly and the rack remains centered in its mount.

Quality Assurance

VAICO parts are positioned for European vehicle service applications and are specified with OE-style fitment details for accurate replacement selection. Confirm vehicle year, model, and steering rack application against the fitment list before ordering.
