Funny, it's actually the ONLY bushing I did not replace on the race car. Being the the rack is solidly bolted to the subframe on one end and the original factory rubber bushing on the other is only about 1/4" think at the most, there is almost NO movement with the rack anyway.
So, I would say no, not worth the work and time it would take to replace it at all.

I wouldn't bother with it either. No point in getting mod happy. A stiffer bushing on the steering rack will do absolutely nothing for handling. The steering feels very price in the factory setup so why screw with it?

I dunno about that bushing on a MINI. We use them all the time on Drift cars, but the only time we really feel a difference is when we're Full-Lock; the steering wheel doesn't resist the counter-steer and want to jump back. During road course events though on the same car, I don't really feel much of a difference.
