Default Daizen Control Arm Bushing Ordering

I have been trying to get in contact with the dealers listed on Daizens website. None of the dealers respond to emails and two of the email addresses that are listed come back as invalid emails.

Where have you guys been able to order the bushings from and actually receive the product?

Thanks

At this time I don't believe you can order them from anywhere, unless a member has some and is selling them.

Are their alternatives to the Daizen bushings?

Thanks.....any of them better than others? I just ordered lower ball joints from Sewell. I want to replace the bushings at the same time.

I just looked at the Roca Usa site - they have a "control arm bushing" set available:

http://www.roca-usa.com/product.php?...roducts_id=119

My car is cracking and creaking. Will the installation of these bushings and new lower ball joints solve my issue?

There are a few threads discussing this. Some people had great results after replacing the control arm bushing, cause it is often broken. I personally ordered the TRD bushings. I think the best solution is replacing the bushing with Figs Spherical bearing, or going even further using Ikeya Formula control arm replacement kit. It is expensive, but looks nice, hehehe...........

I was able to get in touch with Roca-Usa....they only have UPPER control arm bushing. Shouldn't I replace both upper and lower?

Where can I purchase the lower control arm bushings?

Just ordered upper and lower control arm bushings from Roca.....I look forward to getting these things installed.

Hopefully it will make my car ride better with the addition of new Lower ball joints
