The issue is not so much with the bushes as they are cheap , but more with the ball joint and these cannot be replaced , you have to reolace the whole arm !!

Haven't done the Daizen bushing upgrade yet...I'm still waiting for them to make bushings for rears. There are differing opinions from people who have upgraded their front bushings to the Daizens. Some say the steering becomes tighter, others say the ride got harsher.
