Edit, these are the lower control arm bushings or the steering rack bushings? The link says control arm.
to bad we live so far away, i would DEF loan u mine man

they supposed to be control arm bushings.

I got a plan of attack now.

Fig

My idol! Your awesome good luck

So it seems you can find busings for the front arms lower and upper control arms and the "tension rod" which is the main one

but....

What about the rear? I tried looking everywhere other than Ikeya I cant really find anything. I know the IS300 toe rods in the rear are interchangeable and also FIGS makes the lower LCA but anything else?

When did you order and when did your card get charged? Also have you received any notification that your order had been shipped?

I beleive credit card companies have methods of dealing with these things. Its not bad if they come right? Isn't that the whole point is that you were trying to get them?

i know it is, but if u make a better kit and its accessible to us, why do i even want them? i'll wait till u have something designed and then decide what im gonna do
