some people have had this good fortune,MOST have not though. i always say its a crap shoot when buying from their as you truthfully never know when you will get them and even after you get a shipping notification that doesnt even mean they have shipped

I don't see the all important caster arm bushings though.

thats cause fangtl has the wrong link, thats for the steering rack bushings and you didnt seem to look, if u scroll down the page you will see the control arm bushing kits. this is the right picture for it

my apologies man, i was told you only offered the one bushing for the castor arm which we all know wouldnt universally work on the different gs (98-2000/2001+) arms. since i do have the TM bushings and at the moment they dont need replacing i never did my own research. sorry...


i AM glad to see the rear carrier bushing as i will probably order this shortly...is it $48 PER bushing or $48 for the set?

for the REAR carrier bushing or the front castor bushing? nm i looked its the same price for both

Jesus man for JUST the castor bushing maybe its worth it to take the time with TM.their whole control arm KIT is ONLY $99.95 plus shipping an having to deal with their BS maybe not though it kind of is a personal preference here. buy the 2 bushings from carson and get them asap or buy a whole control arm kit from TM for $3 more (not counting shipping prices) and cross your fingers bout when you gonna get them

seriously Carson that's pretty high for just the castor bushings, i guess its a simple formula of supply and demand here

Oh, I did scroll down and look. I don't see the caster arm bushings in that kit. Looks like those bushings are only for the control arms.
