Please keep us 2nd GEN Driver Posted
That sounds very encouraging, I hope I get the same result. I am only going to replace the two lower control arm bushings (well, four - 2 control arm and 2 caster arm), and I am curious if that will make the clunk go away. Then I'll need to figure out why the Daizens are clunking.

Where is the rear knuckle bushings?
Can you point me to the rear knuckle bushing. The link of the seller would be helpful. Thx

Did my Roca swap today: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7062204-post98.html
I think the bushings are pretty good, although they were not easy to press in. I'd say it's a tossup between spending $120 on the Rocas and then having to press them in, and buying two OEM caster arms for $230 and just bolting them in. It would save around 3 hours of work, something that was not fun today as I had a bad back
.
But the ride is incredible, it's like have that new car back. I'd be hardpressed to ever go back to poly bushings again, at least not Daizens.

I was looking at getting these ROCA bushes but could not find any feedback on them whatsoever.
My TRD bushes arrived today from Japan anyway so I guess I'll see how they go.

What is the website address and link?
What is the website address and link? If you don't mind, how much was it? Honestly. I think the ROCA is a better deal if it is compatible or perform similar to the OEM. Cause you have the new Caster and Lower Control Arm as well.

These are the No. 1 Lower Suspension Arm bushings, does TRD also sell the more commonly needed No.2 Lower Suspension Arm (caster arm) bushings?

I got my no 2 bushes here.

But I think they are no longer made. You can just buy the complete lower arms for the 2001 to 2005 GS and it will come with TRD type bushes fitted.
