Will Whiteline KSR206 steering rack mount bushings (polyurethane) fit a Subaru WRX (GD/GG, 2002-2007)?

Q: Will Whiteline KSR206 steering rack mount bushings (polyurethane) fit a Subaru WRX (GD/GG, 2002-2007)?

Yes, reportedly. Whiteline's install sheet gives KSR206 as the kit for MY05-on Impreza WRX and STI, Whiteline's product page names it for the 2005-07 Impreza, and the distributor's fitment table agrees for 2005-07. The kit has four half-bushings for the driver (pump) side, one passenger-side bushing, two metal tubes, grease and a tool to pull the old bushings. Whiteline's steps: support the car on stands, remove the under-car guards and braces, unbolt the rack mounts, undo the lower steering-shaft coupling bolt, swap the bushings, grease every mounting surface, and refit. Whiteline lists a wheel alignment as required. Kept at tier 2 because the same distributor also lists KSR206 for 2003-04 WRX, which conflicts with other listings (see the KSR202 entry).
