Worked perfectly, no lubrication or maintenance required. Just works much better and still a LOT stiffer than stock rubber bushings. That's why the Japanese companies ONLY use hardenned rubber, and never polyurethane.
TRD has some urethane bushing kits.

Maybe TRD USA is really stupid. You should go over there and tell them.

Good idea...can't imagine the purpose of trying to steer people away from a product that will only help!

I'm just posting from my own personal experience with both polyurethane bushings and hardenned rubber bushings. I also was just letting people know the terrible experience I had with Specialty Products camber kits. You all can do what you want but there's no way in hell I'd ever put either of those two items on any car I ever own again.

Hey, guys, how long have we been commiserating about inside tire wear? I'm not sure there are enough of us to make a camber kit profitable for a legit manufacturer. Seems like I have heard promises for some time now, but no kits. Not trying to be negative, just realistic.
