Sorry guys I'm a newb but will this kit help reduce front end vibration? My car is dropped with tein coilovers and I understand the ride is rougher but my steering wheel wobbles at higher speeds and when going over bumps.

You may want to look at your steering rack bushings first. Is there any play in your steering? A couple degree's maybe?

Yeah I would say my steering has some play in it, its not as "tight" as I think it should be if that makes any sense. I'm also running on 18" wheels and my front tires do have some camber wear, I got an alignment today too. Any idea on what the steering bushings might run me?

I'll probably do both kits just to be safe, I have a shop that did some front end work on my dad's GS400 with a decent price on labor.

i just ordered a set for the front and rear earlier today from www.assaultech.com

I emailed them beforehand to see if they were on back order and he told me that they had just received about 5 sets in

Someone Said TM engineering, but supposedly they're on back order.

just read through this entire thread and ended up ordering a set from Assaultech - $63.99 shipped...

I never saw where anyone posted a DIY, so I searched and found this one that is pretty good...towards the middle of the first page he shows the LCA bushing replacement.

@RedPhoenix - sweet ride...I wish we were old pals, I'd come visit and have you tutor me on this project as you have already done it and you're only an hour away!!!
