The rack is the only place where you can get away with a solid bushing, I have aluminum in mine and it's nice and predictable however anywhere in the drive line is a huge no no so to recap solids are ok for the rack bushings only!

Damn. I have been warning people about them since last year, and a mod even got mad at me for spreading "rumors" when a lot of people have already said it happened to them... That sucks... I really wanna buy a lot of stuff from them but don't really want to take the risk... Oh well...

i purchased some parts from TM in may and got them delivered in just a few days so i think they are still running. they wont answer my emails tho cuz i was going to ask them about the spring rates on their tokico illumina struts/lowering spring combo they have for just 500 bucks.

i got my daizen steering rack from TM but i dont think the installer installed correctly because my steering wheel is not compleatly streight and still pulls slightly after an alignment but this could be from needing control arm bushings and worn out struts. the steering is much more tight and there is almost 0 play in the wheel with the daizens i would recomend the daizen steering bushing!
