Default Where to buy polyurethane bushings?

Okay so I have emailed tm engineering and swell Lexus countless times with no response. So my question is where can I get polyurethane bushing kit to replace all the stock bushings. This is for a 02 gs300. Thanks

I haven't heard of an "all bushing" replacement kit... Someone chime in if there is one. These cars have a bunch of different bushings and i've only seen them listed for specifics. Sewell are poly and great. Im pretty new to all this but i haven't heard of an all bushing kit

please search next time guys, this is just ONE of 100+ threads on TM

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sit...cl-vendor.html

TM has them their customer service sucks but eventually after you pay you get your item. if they are in stock todd ships immediately if not dont bug him. the more you bug him the longer it takes....took me almost 60 days after payment to get mine

Noone else makes a complete kit sewell,carson have OEM style replacements for the castor arm and FIGS has a spherical bushing replacements for the castor arm.

these are the ones most people want/need anyways is the castor arm bushing

not to mention the cost of alot of the bushings he posted were WAY off and most of the front ones come in the $115 Daizen Kit....

most of those parts especially the inner/outer tie rods can be had for HALF of his listed price but i agree good info on there...

read you vendor thread Sakataj above, and its long basically saying not to use TM. On that note does anyone know what the part no. for the caster arm bushings are from Sewell.? otherwise you have to search their parts list and i spent 10-15 minutes looking for the caster arm, and/or bushings with no luck. Thanks

i did read it, i have posted in there MANY times. i got my stuff from TM as i said in a post on here previously. if you are patient you'll get the parts from todd eventually and if your lucky and they are in stock almost immediately.

i have or had ALL of daizen's bushings, the steering rack,swaybar bushings (gone now when i got my TRD's) and all the control arms. i know all about Todd @ TM. i even tried to become a dealer for daizen to bring them back into the limelight so to speak but it was not to be.....


no u dont, look on sewells site under service tab on the left of the year/make/model of your car, i just looked took me less than 1 minute to find it, they just call it a front trailing arm bushing or something like that. ALL major service items for the 2nd gen gs are in that quick tab
