steering rack end bushing. not sure if this is correct for then later years manual rack. ordered these for another member on the chance. anybody know fer sure? $3.43.

Yes those fit the aluminum housing steering rack. I orderder 5 of them back in 2013 but I don't have any more left.
I actually ground one down on the outside and used it in one of the steel housing racks. the inside diameter is the same.

I see it now, it looks to be about an inch or so longer without the extra bend. Thanks for taking the time to respond and explain.

I'm looking at my 93L with auto belts and compared to the pics the visors look exactly the same, what's different?

The rods have an extra bend in cars with the strangler belts. The 88-89 visors only have one bend like in the pix. When these are installed on a late model, the visor will not go in a full up position against the headliner, but sticks downward about 2-3 inches from the headliner, at least that was how it was in my 92. That extra bend is necessary to get the clearance away from the thicker trim. When I got my 89, it had the late model visor on the RH. That will work OK, but the difference was pretty obvious when looking at the 2 in the same car.

I found those visors are NOT direct replacement for cars with automatic belts, but were fairly easy to swap to the old rods and worked fine. They will swap right out for 88-89s. And you gotta love the mirror.

the correct driver visor for LHD with storage pocket guaranteed to split the 1st time you stick even so much as a business card in it. a plus on these import visors is no nanny warning stickers and labels. $8.29.

the correct pass visor for LHD. with mirror for picking the grin out of your teeth if you happen to be in a B6T Festy. $8.86.

carby washer bottle. comes with pump and nifty blue cap. makes more sense than yellow. i mean who uses yellow water to clean the windshield? except maybe in an emergency? super deal. $15.95.

I assume you left the Festiva upper spring seat (top hat) on.. did you also leave the old Festiva bearing, seal and washer between the top hat and the Rio mount? On the new struts for Rosie I decided to just use the existing
bearings seals and washer since they really were not worn much. I did clean them up and put fresh grease on them.

Wounder why those MD00134381 FourGreen bearings (not much more than washers) are so expensive ($7.14 each).

I didn't use any of the Festiva stuff, used a washer for the top hat and bolted it back together.

Am I looking at the proper Rio parts diagram?
Can someone who has done the Rio tops, please advise?

I used Kia ball bearing mounts with the KYB Festiva struts and the only problem was the strut shaft was what I considered a little short, but the nut had full contact and I didn't have any problems with it. The swap was worth it as far as I'm concerned.

Has anyone ordered any of the strut bearings from FourGreen? They still have them?
If so anyone have extras for sale?

Rosie's are still intact and don't look too bad but new ones would be nice.
Considered the Rio mounts but there are not 01 or 02 Rio's currently at my local PnP.
