Hummer H3 2007 - 2009 F Steering Rack & Pinion Mount Bushing SuperPro SPF3882K ???

Does anybody have any experience with, knowledge f or opinions on these steering rack & pinion mount bushings? :link:

I saw them on fleebay and I'm wondering if they are worth trying or a waste of money.

Chook does. They used his truck to design them

I thought I remembered that, but I couldn't find it when I searched.

I just ordered a new Steering Rack and I'm thinking of using these to repair the bushings in my old steering rack to have as a spare.

Yep.......... Ultimate Power Steering used the SuperPro bushes from a Holden (GM) Jackaroo which was close. Obviously when Ultimate Power Steering got them to manufacture the new ones, SuperPro must have added them to their product line. I can double check but they look exactly the same as mine. I was underneath changing the Diff Crossmember bush last weekend & the Steering Bushes are still great (though they lost that bright blue color, more like dark blue now) http://www.ultimatepowersteering.com.au/hummer-h3-8-07-4-10/

You should put the bushings in the new rack...not the old one (they won't do you any good on your trail spare). In fact, I would recommend running a used rack with a bushing kit, before I would run a brand new rack with stock bushings. In short, the bushings are the problem...not the rack itself. Unless your rack is broken or not working properly, I would spend the money on the bushings and install them on your existing rack. Likewise...if you must replace your rack, install a bushing kit with it. One of the best bangs-for-the-buck you can do to an H3.

There are several places making them but, I installed the kit from Outfitter Design on a customer's Alpha about two months ago, and it works like a champ. Installation was fairly straight forward, and the results were immediately noticeable. IMO...worth every penny.
