Daizen Users, i have some ?'s for you
Ok, i was reading someone else's thread about daizen busings the other day, so i was curious and checked out the website. Note, i haven't changed of my busings and i know i'm due, 126k +/- , no mechanic ever suggested it, so i never thought of it. Anyway!!! Here are my questions.
1. Have any of you used the OEM tie rod ends and lower ball joints? I'm assuming they include daizen bushings.?
2. What is the difference in performance with the tie rod ends and lower ball joints? Is it strictly a busing upgrade or lowe ball joint upgrade also?

1) not sure what you mean? all gs has tie rods and lower ball joints, and no they have nothing to do with the daizen bushings, they are different stuff
2) again, bushings are bushings for upper and lower control arms, and also the caster arm. but it has nothing to with the tie rods and ball joints. i have the dizen bushings and i am still using the stock tie rods and ball joints, for example

the daizen upgrade has nothing to do with tie rod ends and lower balljoints , those remain oem items that should be changed by now anyway.. the daizen bushings replace castor arm , lower control arm and upper control arms so it elimates all excessive movement for more precise tracking and perf , then you finsih off with the balljoints and outer tie rods and then get a high end alignment having them set front toe just slightly inward and the same for the rears

On the Daizen website they offer OEM tie rod ends and lower ball joints. Is there any upgrade to these parts? I guess is what i'm asking, as opposed to OEM from toyota.

LOL, , gotcha! So since i need to replace them anyway, it would be beneficial for me to get the control arm, and sway bar bushings at the same time as the tie rod ends and lower ball joints.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Once my bodykit sells, i am going to be replacing the control arms and either the bushings for sways or possibly new sway bars. We will have to see what the money will suffice. Thanks a lot guys for all your help.
