There are bushings on mine... are you sure yours just aren't missing? That sounds like it'd put an awful lot of wear on the inner tie rods if something else weren't helping at least absorb some of the subframe vibrations and/or movement! The pressure line has a flexible section so it shouldn't be affected, but the tie rods... yikes...

I think you may want to pop on RockAuto and order yourself the bushings for the next time you have easy access to the rack bolts! I don't believe reman'd racks come with them.
