Has anyone bought the centerlink bushings from Mike
At MR2 Performance.
If so did you modify the centerlink yourself or did
you do it yourself?

Well if I modified it my self how would that be different from modifying it myself.


Most people do it themselves.


Especially if married

Mikes center links are cheaper than marriage, heck even the champagne room

I have two sets. You can ream them yourself or he can.

Check these out too. I'm going to grab a set at the Indy show, hopefully.

Call Mike and discuss it with him. We had him do some stuff on our car and it was awesome. We moved everything as necessary/directed and tacked it in place to fit our oil pan hole then mailed it to him, he worked his magic and sent it back. Fits like a glove, turn to turn steering, and very easy to remove to take of the pan and change/check bearings.

Once you install these on your car, DO NOT tighten the nut like you used to. Just snug the nut up and put the cotter pin in.

I just drill out the center link with a 3/4" bit on a drill press. Don't tighten the nuts or the sleeves will bind on the tie rod/pitman arm/idler arm. With a diaper and center link through the pan we have to pull it off many times through the season. That link just slips on and off. Those bushings are the cats meow...

Is it because the bushings jamb up on the pitman,idler,and tie rod ends?
And you can't get the bushing off?

Will these lower the center link a little ?

I don't have the exact dimension in front of me, but they end up in almost exactly the same position height wise. Mike

And worth every penny too!
In addition to reaming out the holes I put a "step down" on mine where the shoulder of the bushing goes(so that the shoulder side of the bushing is flush with the steering link) and I also run a hardened flat washer under the nut. I had to shorten the non shoulder side of the bushing the thickness of the the shoulder to locate the steering link where I wanted it be.
Something else, I bought a bag of cotter pins the correct size so I never have to reuse them.

That is a good idea on the step-down on the center link. I shortened the castle nuts on my lathe so the cotter pin will fit through the hole.
