What is the benefit of the Steering Bushings?
The stock bushings that hold the steering rack into the car are too soft (for noise isolation reasons). As a result, the steering rack can move side-to-side a little bit in the bushings.....which is NOT a good thing!

It happens on quite a few rack-n-pinion systems, and is not an issue isolated to the WRX.

Whiteline has some stiffer bushings out that fix the problem. Not a tremendously hard install.......but $60 installed is a pretty dang good deal . Hell, I barely can get the car on/off a lift (or jackstands) in the time that the hourly rate covers the install.

Thanks for the plug and it is a good deal alright. I will keep the prices the same until we are out.

Saturday is okay but the opening party starts at 11 am so get there at 9:30 am.

cheers

Are Steering bushings and Control arm bushings the same thing?

The bushings Gino is referring to are used to mount the steering rack to the frame. There are two of them. Nothing to do with the control arms.
