Steering rack bushings, are they split or one piece?

My steering rack bushings are completely shot.

Autoshop don't sell them but I found a bunch on ebay!:)

Do you guys know if they are split so I don't have to remove tie rods to slide them in, or they come in one full piece so I do have to remove tie rods to install the bushings?

Also anybody remembers whats the steering rack diameter just to make sure I buy the right stuff (sub legacy wag 92)

Thanks!

They are split. You unbolt the mounts and the u-joint (mark where it is), slide it down, and slip the new bushings on. Not too hard as long as you get the rack down a bit and none of the bolts break off in the subframe. The fitment guide on the first ebay result for the whitelines I clicked on was not right btw.

If you're getting whiteline, you want the KSR202's.
