Tired of clunks and rattles
I have a 98 GS400. I know that the car has some age on it. Clunks and rattles will start to occur because bushing start to go. Does anyone know if there is a company that makes a full bushing replacement. I am talking about upper and lower control arms, tie rods, and anything else that has bushings. I have looked at Daizen, but they only make the one for the control arm. I also want to do front and back. I don't plan on selling the car anytime soon so I want to get this done before it totally drives me insane. otherwise may be time to just get all new parts.

Daizens do have them for the upper and lower control arms and for the castor arms. However, lots of members have said to not do the lower control arms.
I've been driving around with these clunking sounds and I hate the feelings like my front end is going fall off (ball joints have been replaced btw)

looking at the TMengineering site, it says
"Low durometer polyurethane replacement for worn OEM rubber bushings. Solves most irregular tire wear problems and highway speed driveability problems. Complete with hardware, special synthetic chassis grease and instructions. One kit services all arms on front or rear of vehicle"
so does this mean that the only part number (G2-2002) that they have will work for both the front and back. That means I have to purchase 2 sets to fully change the bushings for front and back.
