Then again, if Toyota made the bushings properly, or would do a TSB on them, we'd not have this problem, now would we? LOL

Anybody who is wanting these bushings, needs to put in an order and wait, that's the only way to get them...I've had mine sitting here for like 2 months waiting until I gather all the parts to refresh the whole front end.
lol, i shoulda ordered them MONTHS ago when i did order my steering rack bushings and my sway bar bushings.

i only been waiting since april 1st and he said mine were in the next batch but as of yet, no word since i emailed yesterday

It took about 6 weeks to get mine, when they said it'd take 2 to have them at my door.

Just called Sewell, and the do NOT have them...they haven't taken them off their website yet, and they are no longer a daizen distributor. So looks like we are all stuck waiting for TM.

since they JUST (like 2 days ago) launched the gs section of the new website i would think if this was true they wouldn't have daizen on there but they do, thus leading me to believe your statement may not be completely accurate

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...-2001-528.html

i mean who launches a new website and puts a vendor they no longer carrying on there.............?????


EDIT: NO ANSWER FROM EMAIL 2 DAYS AGO SO I RE-EMAILED THIS MORNING...

I called and spoke to Darrel. I wish they had them bc I would of bought them, but he said, "We are unfortunately no longer an active distributor of Daizen" It doesn't make sense to me either to put it on there.

just wanted to add something, didnt want to make a new thread about the same items.

i ordered the steering rack bushing + sway bar bushings from Tm engineering. Within a few days I was caught up with the reviews about them & all this backorder/discontinued talk and was worried at first. sent em an email about my order, they responded asap & the items came in 5 days. my experience with them was great and hope everyone gets their items in as well.

I'll be tearing down my car tomorrow (today) and it should go well. Super simple if you have a bit of muscle, and a pitman arm puller.
