So does it require 2 bushings or are you good w/ just one that come w/ what you pay for. Would you recommend this a worth wild mod like the brake master cylinder braket??

hell yeah. there are two bushings, and Oakos has then for something like $35. they're kinda a pain to install, but they improve the feel of the steering quite a bit. the stock rubber bushings are made out of old recycled newspaper rubber bands.

This is a pain.
Get a friend to help, then buy him a beer.

You can't beat the price of the mod, but it does require some difficult work.

You just have to commit to pulling out the driver side bushing and know that you'll get the new one in.
