Default Steering rack mounting bushings

I am assuming you are talking about the rack mounting bushings, not internal rack slider bushings. Rack mounting, one rubber bushing on the passenger side and it is solid mounted on the drivers side. I put the DRM aluminum bushing in place of the rubber on my C6 Z. Just wanted to take out any up and down play in the rack from passenger side wheel forces. It reduced scrub steer pull variations during braking, could not feel much else.

I just bought the DRM bushing. My installer said there are two. He must be refering to the internal. I was wondering why there was only one.
