yeah, i got my sway bar/steering rack kits from the guy in under a week...my control arms are taking forever and a day. if mike (FIGS) gets some made i will just give up on TM

I got my steering rack bushings under a week also.
Not sure what's taking so long with the cotrol arm bushings. I guess everyone is having the same issue with the control arm bushing. If any of you get it let us know.

Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.
I need these so I can get my alignment done.
Does Feb 24, 2010 count as recent?

February 25, 2010, 4:05 PM.
Ordered from TM Engineering on-line:

• DAIZEN Front Control Arm Bushing Kit
• DAIZEN Sway Bar Bushing Kit
• DAIZEN Steering Rack Bushing Kit
• OEM Tie Rod Ends & Lower Ball Joint Set

Total $466.27

February 26, 2010, 12:33 AM.
I receive an e-mail informing me that Steering Rack Bushings and Upper Control Arm Bushings are out of stock but on order and the expected wait is 2-3 weeks.

Would I like to receive a partial order of what they do have in stock now and wait, or wait until everything is ready at the same time?

I sent my reply on February 26, 2010 at 7:25 PM. (Friday) to send what they can now.
The next day, Saturday February 27, 2010 I receive my partial order:
• DAIZEN Front (Lower) Control Arm Bushings
• DAIZEN Sway Bar Bushing Kit
• OEM Tie Rod Ends & Lower Ball Joint Set

March 3, 2010
Charge to my credit card for $380.00

March 12, 2010
E-mail informing me order is prepared for shipment via USPS.
Charge to my credit card for $80.00.

March 15, 2010
Receive rest of order:
• DAIZEN Front (Upper) Control Arm Bushings
• DAIZEN Steering Rack Bushing Kit

Yes, I couldn’t talk on the phone to the guy, but the e-mails and service were the epitome of professionalism and courtesy. And he charged me $0.27 less than the order!

he jacks ppl on the shipping - it doesn't cost $20 to ship something that weighs less than 2 lbs from west to east coast UPS ground and that is how much he rips ppl off for

Daizen and TM Engineering = shaft up your azz thumbdn: and that is the low down folks

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.
