Thank you SOOO much for this thread. Was literally about to pull the trigger on the Daizens, read this thread, and just purchased the Prothanes from THmotorsports for $135.00 Shipped for front and rear. I used their promo code threeoffthm2 for an additional 3% off, and with free shipping that price is hard to beat

I will update when I receive them.
Thanks again,
Rick

Is the 92-96 bushing bigger or smaller than the 97-2000?!?!
I have these on my 1998. The OD is the same!

Correct there is no proper way to get the prothanes to work in the 97+ and you can see in the pics why that is.

I had some one off made custom made for me since I have a place that will make any bushing I need in any durometer which almost every bushing in my car is going to be custom.

But I may have it wrote down somewhere so I will check.

I just turned down the "bump" in the middle of the stockers on a lathe and used those in my poly bushings I had made up to get me out of a pinch when I found out the 97+ bushings were not the same

I could have had more made but the cost was ugly for the set I had made but it was cheaper than new arms from Toyota.

That's odd, my inner sleeves did not look like those with the bumps in the middle. Mine were nice and flat after I scraping all the old rubber off.
