hey man, i installed those bushings from roca, didnt do it my self though, took em to mechanik, the only thing about them, is that for my 98 gs300, they had outer shell that neede to b removed to fit in my castor arms, but besides that i have brand new front suspension, New struts, inner outer tie rods, castor arm bushings, Ball joints etc, feels nice so far.

Anyone has feedback on these yet? I am looking to replace my #2 Lower Control Arm bushings (Caster Arm), and am torn between getting the factory arms at $111 each or trying the Roca bushings at $65 each, although with the Roca bushing kits I'd also get the #1 Lower Control Arm bushings if I ever need them, so that's a plus.
Just debating between going back to OEM or trying another aftermarket solution.

Thanks, I think he already gave us feedback - "feels nice so far" . I'm wondering if anyone looked closely at the bushings, compared them to OEM, etc. Maybe I'll be the guinea pig, my Daizens have to go, so I might try the Rocas.

I got the Roca bushings in the mail today. They look good, of course it's hard to tell how good they are just by looking at them. Still planning to do the swap this weekend, just can't decide if I'll do only the caster arms or the lower control arms too. I'll take pics along the way and post them here.

OK, i test drove my brand new front Suspension, with these ROCA-USA caster bushings, it feels awesome,
I installed OEM struts, Raybestos (made in japan) aftermarket inner, outer tie rods, sway bar end links, new OEM rubber sway Bushings, changed only caster arm bushings, my were torn to hell.
As of material they made of, it seemed like grey rubber, may be its just paint or something. installed no problem, Same for both sides

That sounds very encouraging, I hope I get the same result. I am only going to replace the two lower control arm bushings (well, four - 2 control arm and 2 caster arm), and I am curious if that will make the clunk go away. Then I'll need to figure out why the Daizens are clunking.
