TM engineering?
so he is jerking us around along with daizen? i will sell this car before replacing these bushings again
the one thing you all have forgotten so it seems is that todd (TM) doesnt make these so i would assume its daizen screwing him around not just him jerking around with it... although it easily could be him jerking around....for the sake of his reputation (when he started, not now) and his $ i wouldnt imagine it was him.
once i get my bushings, from him though i dont need anything else though. i already have my daizen sway bar bushings, steering rack bushings and these now so hopefully i should be good to go
EDIT: just got off the phone with glen, interesting stuff bout TM. disregard the RED post if anyone read it

So i went to my local lexus dealer today and they had never heard of steering rack bushings or a front control arm bushing kit, if TM Engineering is so effed up where else can one get these bushings, im badly in need of mine, but id rather not purchase them then throw my money away to a company like TM.
He used to supply Lexus dealers with the bushings but no longer.
Heck - John at Exact wanted to order 100 sets - told him no.
He pretty much only deals on line and only through e-mail.
Since he's the only guy that can get them - deal with it.
Just be patient and stop bugging the guy - jeeeez.

As our cars are getting older and there have been some outstanding write ups on the merits of this (these) product, the demand has gone WAY up for the bushing set (the LCA bushing apparently is the big supply problem). TM is a very nice company, I WILL buy from them if I have a need in the future.
Patience.

Well guys, I ordered my steering rack bushings for an SC on Sunday evening. I received this Wed. Can't ask for faster turnaround than that. 
My only compaint is charging nearly $17 for a Priority Mail envelope that cost $4.75 to ship. If you want to scam people out of $12 then add it to the price, but adding it to the shipping cost is straight up dishonest.

Got front control arm bushes yesterday!
Hey guys,
Yes!!! I ordered late April 15th or 16th. control arm, steering rack and sway bushes. Got the email "wait for everything or ship what is on hand and wait for the other" email.
Sent TM a nice email saying I would be patient and wait silently. It worked great. I have and will start the long awaited install this weekend.
Hang tight all, there on the way. Check your mailboxes. Patience is key in all aspects of life, except for the guy rubber necking in front of me on the highway. Gs430 takes care of that!!!
I guess I'm out of hiding.

my stuff came in as well got it all installed in about 3 hours with the help of my mechanic and a full out auto repair facility...only problem i had is one of the upper countrol arm bushings wasn't cut correctly, and pressing in one of the big bushings for the control arm the outer lip sheared off on one bushing..it's looks ugly and i'm worried if it's gonna stay i hope so. i doubt tm will sell me just one bushing.
i hope for quite some time that i NEVER have to do bushings again cause it was a pain in the ***. other than that the steering wheel shimmy at 65 seems to have disappeared and i need an alignment pretty bad
