Default Steering Rack Bushings replacement

What are my options here? Mine are worn and its making the car feel unsafe to drive while turning. I threw it up on the lift and came to the conclusion that they are indeed bad as the whole rack is shifting when I turn the wheel. Any help would be great

Here you go.

Seems to be quite an easy job to do.

This shows where to buy & how to install.

Got mine from Randy a few years ago. Makes a lot bigger difference than I thought it would. A little harder to do than the video shows, but well worth it IMHO.
