Delrin Steering Rack Bushings for the 1993-2002 Camaro & Firebird
P/N- 2116
Priced at $49.99/kit
UMI Performance, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of our new Delrin™ rack mount bushings. These are designed to replace the soft factory rubber steering rack bushing and provide a crisp, responsive steering experience. The factory rubber bushing tends to shrink and crack over the years which contributes to sloppy steering feel and reduced steering precision. The Delrin™ material is hard, durable and self-lubricating and ensures steering inputs are transmitted directly to the rack. These bushings install quickly and easily with normal hand tools and the kit includes a new UMI-built sleeve. 100% designed, manufactured and raced out of Philipsburg, PA-USA.

I'm a full UMI supporter as I have a lot of your products on my car but this price point seems a bit steep. $49 plus shipping seems kind of crazy for two pieces of plastic and a metal sleeve I can get from lowes for a few bucks.
I was ready to buy until I saw the price.

Hi guys,
They can appear high but this is a low production item, it's not an item that sells a 100 a month that we can mass produce and they aren't built in China. They are built here on our CNC turning center using Dupont brand genuine Delrin. Low production low selling items require a higher price to cover the cost.

The bushing replacement itself is really simple. Old rubber one comes right out, new ones fell right in and the inner sleeve provided the tight fit.
Yep, that. Pretty certain we used the same vendor as I only know of one. Sounds like yours was the aluminum version though.
