Plan on checking it tomorrow. I think the arms are there but not 100%. They are yours if they are there.

Thanks Chris. Like I said, I dont need the arms in perfect condition, just need to press out the old bushings and mic the holes. Contact me for shipping info and I'll send you a check for the cost of shipping them or whatever.

Sean.. glad to hear it worked out for you.

The polyurethane-graphite impregnated bushing kits
that TMEngineering sells for the MKIV Supra,
are supposed to the the current "gold standard" ??

Well I just sent Super Pro an inquiry, we'll see how that works out.

BTW, are the factory bushings prohibitively expensive? Or just too soft? Mine is way overdue for some suspension love; last week the rear end stepped out on me making a slow left turn and put me in a 360 degree spin. Granted, the road was wet, but there is not way that it should have happened; not at <15 mph. I am hoping that it was due to the shocks and bushings needing replacement. 'Cause if it's the rear diff. I'm gonna pull my hair out.

I'll post up a response when (if) I hear back from Super Pro.

And the answer from the US Distributor:

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your interest in SuperPro polyurethane bushings. Although we are the exclusive US importer for SuperPro bushing kits, they do not offer any bushings for your vehicle. I think SuperPro just forwarded our information without looking at the specific application – sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks.



Best regards,



Glenn Dirkse
