Compatible? Umm, they went on my car which is a GS430 and I'm very happy with the bushings.

i apologize for taking so long to reply, work has been crazy. anyway i am very happy with the bushings and now realize just how bad the old ones were since the car drives so much smoother down uneven roads without pulling when it hits a dip. i would buy these again in a second.

the weight of the car does make it bulge out and make a gap but the bushing fits very tight in the sleeve and i don't believe that there would be any problem with the bushing the way it is.

i am 100% positive these are the right ones as i checked the part numbers to sewells web site as soon as i got them.

i do agree that there should be a better design out there but there aren't many choices especially since the daizen bushings are not made anymore or are impossible to buy. but then again i have read of people having issues with the daizen bushings not holding up either.

At Sewell part number 537SET is for 2000 and later GS400-GS430s, SET536 is for 1998 and 1999. Also the part number changed for the caster arms from 1999 to 2000.

I think it is a fair assumption that since the part number changed there have been some changes to the arms and bushings.

Does anyone know the differences and if they are interchangeable?
