I couldnt wait and I allready changed my tie rods, control arms, ball joints.
I have NOT changed my castor arms so hopefully this will be great news to me.
Rom: Please keep us posted on the release of the castor bushings or other bushings.
This is EXCELLENT news to all GS owners!!!!
Well, this is a good example then, I doubt anything drove any better after you changed these items, no? Maybe minimally better only because of brand new bushings on the control arms, but probably not much. Let us know, this would be great information to everyone!

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

so ed you going to get the bushings and put them in the new arms? maybe you can just reuse your old arms with the bushings and just sell the new arms

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?

same here, i went to custom alignment too, they put my car on the rack and 20 mins later showed me the cracks and sent me home, saying there is no point in doing alignment coz' it will be knocked out in no time and it's a waste of money

well, now it's all about making appointment

It has been awhile since I've looked but I think parts will be near the $100+ mark. The labor , however, will be the part that will make you go . I think it is in the 4-500 range.

TM Engineering and Sewell Lexus. Both are Daizen dealers and both are CL vendors.
