They are called Casting Compounds.

They have various shore(hardness) levels.
I personally have used 80, and 94 and loved them both on the engine mounts. Never tried 60 though.


Type these part #'s into McMAster Carr's search box, and it will take you there. The site can be hard to navigate but it is because they can get literally anything known to man for any building project you can even think of.

Flexible Urethane, Shore 60A – 8644K24
Flexible Urethane, Shore 80A – 8644K11
Flexible Urethane, Shore 94A – 8644K18

Let me know if this helps.

Few weeks back I think someone said he had some more bushings. I think he was right. I just got mine. Emailed him, he responded 2 weeks later and express mailed them to me. In my hands right now. Mind you I ordered them in Jan. for my gs300(rip).... but I just got a 400. So , I'd say email him.

Thanks, I did a search but didn't find that one. Curious to the brand the accumulation of those parts is. I choose the Beck Arnley parts because they are owned by one the largest supplies of OE parts for drive train and suspension stuff. I understand the buy from Lexus mentality, but the Lexus out sources this stuff from other companies.

I ordered some tie rod ends as well as the Daizen control arms bushing kit from TM a few days ago. After putting in the order online I got an email confirmation the next day. Three days later all the parts were delivered.

Overall it was a smooth shopping experience, I got my order confirmation as well as my parts so I'm happy. Would I buy from them again? I would if they have a better way for me to reach them.

when another member and myself bought our steering rack kits we ordered together as the shipping cost individually was ridiculous (i think it was like 16 each and we saved almost 20 bucks ordering together) but we got them in like 3-4 days now the control arm bushings took me almost 60 days to get when i ordered them a few months later.

when he has them in stock, Todd is quick as can be to get them to us but when he's outta stock either daizen or him really drops the ball. his re-order point should be higher to accommodate this slow transition

I think sakataj nailed it.

It sounds like when Todd has the item in stock, he usually gets out pretty quick.

I set up an appointment to pick up the kit and the transaction and communication was smooth.

Any body got a number to contact them besides their fax? They seem to reply just as quick before you buy. Once the money is sent, waiting around for a while. E-mail them and get no responses what so ever? I'm about to send them a fax bomb of "WHERE'S MY STUFF!?" They're lucky they're not in Texas...
