So my steering rack bushings are shot on my 00 GT. The front suspension is very noisy and clunks when turning. My question is should I go with standard or offset polyurethane rack bushings? My car is lowered and I hear different things on both. I know on offset bushings the center hole is offset in order to compensate for the rack & arms relationship to be parallel again but then ive heard that they can rotate and change the rack and arms relationship even more and increase bumpsteer. Should I just go with standard bushings and then get a bumpsteer kit to eliminate it? Or do offset and the kit as well? Any help is appreciated.

Check your ball joints asap. Mine did the same thing once as well. Can be a major accident if they break on the hwy. Mine broke going over a speed bump and put the front fender on top of the tire.
