Need some help with question related to Steering Rack Bushing and Transmission (auto) mount.
I've been doing some research to identify potential causes to my Front Suspension feeling a bit "loose" / not firm.
I am getting ready to replace the Control Arm Bushings, so that will address the cracked rubber.
I checked the Steering Tie Rods and they seem to have been replaced recently and show no visual play. The Control Arm ball joints also look good and show no play. The Engine Mounts look fairly new too.
One thread suggests that the Steering Rack Bushings can cause wobbly suspension feel when worn out. I could not find the Rack Bushings when inspecting the car (see pix). Are those item #4 on the parts catalog ? If so, they seem to be discontinued. Does anyone know their part number and if can be seen in my picture?
Then when looking at the front of the (auto) Transmission, there is a Bracket that is not connected to anything. It seems it could be connected to the Rack, if it was a bit closer to it/longer. Does anyone know what this Bracket is for?
