Yeah, all i have able to find has been kits for 06 and down i was wondering because from what i have read that the lca bushing are what makes the 96- kits that dont fit because of the bubble in the inner sleeve.... Would i be able tp get a 96 kit and just not replace the lca bushing?? I have all ready replace the driver lca because that all i could afford at the time.. An answer would be great

Looking for those daizen bushings online and finding a vendor that actually has them in stock are 2 very different things. Daizen has been out of business for a long time now, so finding them is almost impossible. I believe tmengineering still list it on their site, but if you do a quick search you'll see the bad history people have had with the company.

As far as known replacements sewell sells bushings on their site, and figs offers a super pro bushing that is suppose to fit.

I believe they got better about shipping steering rack bushings out. I ordered a set of steering rack bushings from them a few years ago, and they were in a plastic bag with daizen instructions. It looked nothing like the daizen products I have received prior to that.
