This TRD bushings look simular to Roca by looking at the picture they are the same,dont know the quality difference

GS714

The ROCA USA is a sub-division of Megan racing here in California. It's in the after market in since 2001. Hell either way I rather spend couple hundred dollars on replacing those bushing instead of probably more then thousand $$$$. The two UCA alone is already $650 just for parts.

That's great info Brian... I did not realize that TRD made all these replacement bushings. I wonder if they are OEM or stiffer, they say that these bushing are "a great item for any modified vehicle and for those looking to increase the handling characteristics of their vehicle. The mounts will better stabilize the suspension during spirited driving especially during braking, cornering and acceleration."

Other than curing your clunking, how do the Roca bushings improve the ride compared to the Daizens?

Are any stock sleeves required?

lyonkster

I did not realize how many other annoying noises I was getting aside from the clunking - little pops, creaks, snaps, you name it. I felt like I was driving a heap instead of a Lexus, I started to prefer driving my 15 year old Chrysler minivan.

Once I replaced the Daizens with the Roca bushings, ALL of that went away. I never expected that extra benefit. It's just solid and quiet.

I can't say how the Rocas compare to Daizens in hard or spirited driving, I don't drive my car that way. From my POV, the best performance oriented approach would be the Figs spherical bearing approach, it looks killer. But for me, I would not want to put up with the extra transmitted noise and "feel". I like the OEM feel .

lyonkster

No, it turned out (like I expected) that the Roca bushing is a complete replacement for the OEM bushing. So you need to get the OEM bushing out completely, including the outer sleeve, and press the Roca bushing in its place.

I'll stick with poly bushings from Sewell. They've been treating me nice

The source is no longer selling them. I was too late

i didnt either....i would think the TRD ones would be better than anyones but who knows. im fixing to order a few of these

i love sewell but even FIGS has said these bushings just arent designed well.... my issue with them for one is all the air holes in the rubber. they were designed just as a replacement but without the concept of WHY they needed to be replaced

you can buy mine....they sitting in my center console. i paid $130 for them shipped and waited a month or so for them....im gonna try the TRD ones (plus a few extra TRD bushings while im at it)

i think u linked the wrong ones btw..... i think the ones he wants are these

so this should be a nice post from me (probably my best lately) but per their schematics #8 is missing...they dont even show a bushing for it! so kind of for myself as a quick reference, im gonna label these....or try to their schematics is cruddy so anyone feel free to correct me but this should help ALL of us
