You'll never hear from them as he doesnt return phone calls or answer emails.

If the order doesnt show up by next week you may be needing to hit your CC company for a dispute transaction... good luck.

Just bought my set from them. Super quick shipping and excellent customer service. I'll be purchasing my ball-joints from them shortyly too after my bushings are installed.

If you're going to change the ball joints yourself let me know, you can use my Pittman tool. It makes the job a lot easier.

So which Daizen bushings did you buy from Sewell Control Arm, Swaybar or Steering Rack ?

I eMailed a while back and was told that they "don't carry the Steering Rack bushings and that they can't get them"

If they do sell them I'm putting in an order for ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and swaybar bushings ASAP.

They are within the end of the service life ( mileage ) but the 20" the last owner or you have on may speed up the process!!!! If you look at the L-tune the biggest wheel they offer was 18" that tells me something!!!!
