I need to replace the lower control arm bushings on my car, does anybody know what place I can get some other than the dealership? From what I read apparently the Prothane bushings don't work on 97..

Daizen makes quality stuff. I recently replaced my sway bar and steering rack bushings with Daizen's.

yup i have daizen steering rack bushings too, didn't really notice much of a difference but i think thats because my PS pump is bad. It did stop some vibrations and quieted down some clicking noises i got when i drove.

If it's the fronts, you can get FIGS LCA bushing. I just did it on mine. It works for 97+ SC. Check my post for the 1999 sc300 lca bushing.

Thanks, do I need to do any thing extra like buy other metal sleeves? Or just buy and put it all in?

I already gave you the brand, feel free to look it up like what i had to do when i needed new bushings welcome to CL.
but if you insist tmengineering sells them, and there are threads and threads on how to install and remove them and threads on what the difference is between the 92-96 and 97-2000's.

You will need to have a press for the bushing but you need to burn out the old bushing because you need to keep the outer sleeves of the bushings. If you press out the old bushing you will have a high chance of crushing the outer sleeves. You need that sleeve for the FIGS bushings. My mechanic has to fab up another sleeves for me because he pressed the old one out and crushed it.
