That should def clear things up RMMGS4. Thanks.
I didn't know that about TM.
One man show huh? Jeez, guy really has his hands full.

It seems like Daizen is the one to blame for the delays then.
Daizen should have enough of a product to go around, and ship themselves IMHO.

All this trouble for a piece of rubber/polyurethane. Bogus.

*Update for you guys looking for bushings from the daizen vendors.
I spoke to allen at Lexus at stevens creek at lunch today and he gave me some info on the problems he has been having with daizen. He recomended another company he has been using bushings for lexus companents "armstong". I am waiting for specific info on products etc. He gave me a price for rack bushings for my Sc3 of $54.57 + shipping for me and accepts c/c over the phone. He was helpfull. Here is the contact info I used from the "where to buy" part of daizen products. Ask him for bushings?

Easy gentlemen... nobody FREAK OUT just yet. This website shows they offer a good set of bushings products for the 1GS. If you are reading this, you probably own a 2GS. That is all.

Kinda strange that Daizen doesn't list them as a distributor.

Daizen shows a list of Authorized "Dealers". Only TM is a "Distributor".


Give Selvin a call and see if they have it in stock. If not then they would have to order it from their distributor = TM, which basically means forget it.

sure. The lexus dealer uses these for rear end bushings. I just wanted better rack bushings and was not having much luck until I found that.

Well, they had the sway bar and the steering rack bushing kit in when I ordered. I think a few pages back I read that they were out of the control arm bushing kit. So that might be an issue.

Todd emailed me this weekend but I had a problem with my credit card he said he had everything in stock havent heard from him since sunday maybe he only fulfills on the weekend, But I was searching and found some really good things about Todd in the past I guess he got overwhelmed by business
I know he was installing the bushings for members in Socal back a few years ago
Im going to wait
