Solid steering knuckle bushing

How’s things ,
The sport has started handling very bad , the bushing in the steering knuckle is on its way out .

Does anyone know where I can buy a solid bush or know if I can just make some thick spacers ?

Thanks in advance

Re: Knocking noise - engine rebuilt

Sounds like a plastic noise right under glovebox. Reved engine whilst feeling gearbox and engine and can't feel a noise . pretty sure its not either. Could it hardly be a short shifter I fitted?

Knocking noise - engine rebuilt

Fully rebuilt my m20b25. When car is revved there's a knocking/tapping sound coming from below glovebox to middle of dash. Gets louder and quicker when going up revs.

No noise on idle, what could this be

Hi,
