Default What comes with the Daizen steering rack bushing kit?

OK - I just tried to order the Daizen steering rack bushing kit from JM Lexus and they said it isn't a kit - just one single bushing... That's not right is it?

Unfortunately Sewell are out until the end of May and TM Engineering took my payment but have yet to produce and goods/tracking info

Don't want to send them the money as this doesn't seem right... Aren't there several parts to the kit?

I think he means that it is just for the front not the back.

I ordered mine last week, live closer to CA than you, and still haven't received mine This sucks.

No - he actually said it just comes as 1-piece. I asked "One kit" and he said "No, a single piece."

The stock rubber bushings wear out over time, leading to lots of play in the steering wheel. by installing these you will get much more responsive steering. best bang for buck mod imo

Sup2jzgte has 5 rubber bushings and 2 metal sleeves, so it is the same as yours. The 3rd metal looking thing is just the flash reflection off the plastic bag.
