My business is for sale:
I have not found anyone to take over my business. So:
We built a home in Denver. A 55+ community. We have had it for two years now. We go there for a week every two months or so. But we are not happy there. The lot size is minuscule and I only have a smallish 3 car garage. So we are selling it and looking for a different home in the Denver area. An existing home. We do not want to go thru a new build again. We both want a larger yard and most important is I want more garage space. All my life I have been a garage person and I like to make things etc. Ideally we will find a home where I can add on to the existing garage or put in an additional garage. So my plan now is to take my business to Denver. But: I am not making much of anything anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will probably just sell out my existing stock and as I run out of things discontinue them. Hopefully this all happens in 2024. Once we start moving out of our home here in Wi there will be a few/several months when I will not be able to sell anything.

9-10-24: I am still in business and this item is still in stock.
1984 - 1987 passenger side steering rack bushing made of bronze alloy C93200.
Aluminum is the material rack rebuilders commonly use.
It is held in the steering rack with a snap ring. The bushing is no longer available through GM. This bushing can only be changed if you remove the rack from the car and take it completely apart. Copies of the steering rack rebuilding section of the Helms manual are included.
Now made of bearing bronze alloy C93200!
This material is much better than the aluminum rebuilders commonly use.
Note : Before ordering any parts take the time to pull the passenger side boot back to see if any looseness is in the rack bushing or inner tie rod. You can cut the original metal clamps. Use plastic tie wraps to replace the steel clamps. Also look at the inner steel rack to see if it is rusted. If it shows any signs of being rusty all the rust will have to be polished off before a new rack bushing can be installed.
Also: To take the rack apart you end up destroying the seal. Order a new seal also:

SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping:
Shipping is $7.50 (Midwest-USA)
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from , Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
