Default WTB: (1) Daizen Caster Arm Bushing (the big one) for 99 GS400

The lip on one of my Daizen Front Lower Control Arm (Caster Arm) bushings was damaged when being pressed in. This is the big bushing that is a PITA to press in. I've heard of others damaging theirs and am wondering if anyone has an extra bushing laying around so I won't have to order the entire set.

Any spare bushings out there, or has anyone else purchased a single bushing from Daizen? I submitted an inquiry but am waiting several days for response - need to get my car back on road

Default Daizen dealer recommendation needed

anyone have recommendations for Daizen dealer that will respond to inquiries? Neither Daizen or original dealer seem inclined to respond to emails or phone calls. Hope to avoid buying complete kit

How did you damage it? If you just slightly caught the edge and it chopped a chunk off the side of the bushing then you're ok. It happened to one of mine as I was pressing it in and there's no problems at all. The sliced off chunk on mine was like 2" long. As long as you didn't chop off too huge a piece then don't worry about it.

We just traded in the GS4 for a LS460, so I won't need them.

I think they were $100, so I'll be glad to take $50.
