Default Just Installed Daizen Oem Sway Bar Bushings

Got the Daizen OEM sway bar bushings form Sewell for $26.99. Took 2 hours to install and I have about no experience working under the car. Defintely is a nice small improvement. My 98 GS400 has almost 88k on it so the stock ones are pretty old. They really didn't seem to be deformed or in too bad of shape. Only have drove about 20 miles but turning around corners fast does feel better. I'll see how it acts on the highway tomorrow morning.

Definitely worth the couple hours and $30, huh?

I the Daizen bushingings last night on Sewells website and for the money it sounds like a great improvment instead of spending 500 bucks for sway bars... Let us know how the drive is tomorrow..

I was excited to drive to work this morning to give the bushings a test on the highway and all the curves. All I can say for under $30 bucks -DO IT! You have no reason not to I spend that on a case of Corona. Use the CL discount code.

My steering actually feels a little tighter. I've always had a problem with my car feeling like it's floating side to side on the highway. This has improved it soooo much. There was a pretty long thread on theses and how to install them a while ago. It included pics from the manual if you don't have one. For the guys out there running the whole sway bar upgrade I can't imagine how your cars must feel.

I don't notice any difference in ride comfort. I'm running 18"s with stock suspension for now. I have to get my L-tuned stuff installed.
