I ordered last month on 6/9 and still did not receive my p/s rack and sway bar bushings. AND I was overcharged around 400 dollars. I have been calling 3-5 times a week and once someone answered but just took a message. Did not receive a call back yet. I have emailed a few times and received one reply saying they would call me but they never did. Their customer service is horrible and I hope that this **** doesnt happen to anyone else but it will.

I have this same problem, the thud seems to come from the driver side. This thud thud only happens when I turn the wheel fully left or right parked.

I just replaced my steering rack bushings tonight and it did not fix this thud problem just to let you know.

dude.. order them from TM. I put my order in on 7/9 and I just got home and they were on my doorstep. Just make sure to select USPS priority mail. Its a couple bucks cheaper than UPS and probably quicker too.

good luck

fix that oil leak. oil saturates the bushings and makes them deteriorate like no other.

I'm glad I was able to identify the problem with my steering instead of asking a mechanic, that's how you end up losing tons of cash. It helps a lot when a person can do research and find out what the problem really is by themselves. I am going to order these bushings as soon as I can and I'm going to install myself. I talked to a mechanic he said he would do the job for $65, which isn't too bad, but I'd rather save the money for an alignment. Thanks a lot for all of the information guys.
