Steering rack bush replacement

[udayasl]

Car make / model: Honda Insight (2010)

I replaced the bush of the steering rack 3 weeks ago but now again I feel roughness when driving on little non smooth roads (even in very little bumps).

Many people say rack bush replacement is not a successful method as it uses nylon material in the new bush.

What is the solution for this issue?

I heard the same. However, it should settle down once you do around few thousands KM's. (atleast that's what I've heard)

This is not the steering wheel roughness but the suspension problem which I felt before replacing the bush.

Steering wheel hardness got back to normal after a few days of riding.

I drove the vehicle 100% comfortably after replacing the bush in the last 3 weeks since it was replaced, but again I feel a rough hit when riding on little scratched roads.

I’m afraid again whether bush is the problem.

Did you replace it with genuine bushes? Because these hondas always prefer genuine bushing. Generic ones doesn't last long.

Where can I find genuine bushes for Honda?

According to the garage people, they used nylon material
