Rom: Please keep us posted on the release of the castor bushings or other bushings.

actually since doing mine it drives 100% better , tracks truer , very little if any steering wheel kickback , no shimmy or vibrations to speak of pretty much feels like a new car again but i know doing the daizen ones would take it to the next level no doubt so i am ready to buy

maybe you can just reuse your old arms with the bushings and just sell the new arms
maybe you can just reuse your old arms with the bushings and just sell the new arms thats exactly what i planned to do i just could not take driving around the way it was before
i have the old castor arms so i can take my time and get the old bushings out without any down time

I am salivating.
Next up for me might be the Tom's Braces, front strut tower brace, and Daizen bushing replacements with new control arms as well.
Again, I am salivating. Thanks, Henry...good stuff!!!!!
I wish I had a Todd at TM in my neighberhood.

Sweet news. When I was @ Custom Alignment, they pointed out to me the cracking also and said that it would need to be replaced soon. How long are we looking at for the pieces?
