My steering rack moves around a bit much. Lexus here in Sweden wants about $180 for all 3 with an estimated delivery time of 3 months. OEM would probably be good enough for me but price and time got me looking at alternatives.

I've googled and found that FIGS are good but they don't seem to have poly/plastic any more? White line, some are happy some are not. Daizen are good but hard to come by and delivery time can suddenly be long after you placed an order.

Any advice?

FIGS still makes urethane bushings for the 2GS. I would contact them directly for international order.

eBay has the Ricochet brand says thy ship worldwide. Also search PSB bushings. I've used those and no problems. Actually that's what Sewell sent me long before they closed. eBay store shows it only ships to the states though.

Daizen kits are in stock at Amazon.com which is where I bought mine. Of course you're much farther to ship to, but there product is available if you're willing to wait/pay.

i think FIGS is the better option. I think i installed Daizen at the time but i honestly don't remember. It was before FIGS made there's .

Thanks every one! A set from FIGS is soon on its way. I hope they correct my steering issues.

Hello again, Just wanted to give a bit of feedback after the installation of FIGS bushings. Before the installation the car felt nervous and on rough road or even on road markings the car didn't feel stable you needed to be active behind the wheel. You wouldn't have a crash of course but the car did not feel direction stable. New bushings made the nervous and sort of scary feeling go away. I've now concluded that I have more play in the steering rack it self then I would like and I will there for try and adjust the preload carefully.

The car has done 240000 km or 150 000 miles.
