Good morning all!!

I am in need of a sent of lower control arm bushings. I have done some research and the prices are all over the place! Does anyone have a good place to get them?

Thanks for any help!!!

EDIT. I am looking for the part numbers for the different bushings, i can't tell if they are different front and back of the arm?

I assume it's for a 94? If so you can get a full front kit for 70-90 on eBay...

I bought my Whitelines from Aftermarket Suspension Parts.com. I paid $117.00 for the LCA bushings. he car handles MUCH better now and was one of my better upgrades.

They appear to be 92-00 kits all over ebay. I've seen them go for anywhere between 70+ for a kit for fronts, and around 90+ for rears, both kits include driver side and passenger side.

Dude,


Are you looking for OEM-style rubber bushings for comfort or do you want to install polyurethane bushings for increased steering response, sacrificing a bit of comfort? If you're interested in polyurethane, go with Whiteline.

Whiteline's are good but if you want better ones get the Daizen ones.

This is a good read about caster arm bushings, along with reviews on daizen and what others have ended up with. do understand that your talking about control arm bushings.. But members mention on where they get their parts from as well.

Does anyone sell the Daizen bushings anymore? I remember TM Engineering used to but they screwed a lot of people out of their money.

Nope, Daizen has been discontinued for a long time. I have the original Daizen bushings on my car that I bought from sewell a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure it is just rebranded prothane bushings, so they're nothing special.

I contacts TM engineering back in April and appears they still may have them.

TM used to be a vendor for daizen, but the last time I ordered parts from them (2012?) when I got the package they weren't branded daizen at all. They were just bushings in a plastic bag with generic instructions. TM is the only company that still sells products as daizen, but receiving your product after you pay has always been a gamble in the past and having him answer phone calls/emails was impossible. Maybe the fact that he responded to your email is a sign he finally got his **** together.

I had a brand new daizen and prothane kit back in 08 or 09 and they are identical in my opinion.

*Edit* I realized I still have a bunch of bushings in my garage, so I went to take a few pictures. These are all different bushings, but you can see the different brands.

The bushings and sleeves look identical. The part number and grooves for grease are very similar. The grease packages even use a very similar red color for their font.
