Default Daizens in at Sewell

Just ordered my control arm bushing set from Sewell online. It stated part in stock and got an email stating should arrive in 3-10 days. I will keep you posted.

I know they were $149 vice $99 but actually getting them and quick will be a big plus. I got high speed vibration for sure and some clunking at in parking lot turn and when backing up. May need to do ball joints too.

Yep I thought $149 was a bit steep. But at least I will get em and have contact with the seller if I have questions on shipping etc.

I guess if only 2 shops distribute them and one never has em or has poor customer service supply and demand allows you to charge whatever and people, like me, will pay it.

Best thing to do is call Sewell to see if they're in stock. A few times my friend tried to order bushings from sewell and despite what their website says, they weren't in stock.

I really wish MaximumMotorsports, Energy Suspension or Prothane would make bushings that we need for these cars. I have never had any problems with them....and they're easy to get. No waiting, and no having to deal with backorders....or just bad customer service....like TM Engineering.

I tried the CL911M did not work so I just said ef it and ordered.
Just saw the CLUBLEXUS code and it dropped price to $132.

Gona call them today also to veryify in stock. If not I will cancel an reorder on backorder for the $132.

Ok so Sewell is awesome.

Just talked to Darrell in parts about my order. It indeed WAS in stock when I ordered hence my link. I got the last one in stock, so they are no longer in stock as of the time date/stamp of this post.

Oh and as far as my "Sewell is awesome" reference, I told them the CL911M code did not work for me, so he said he would take care of the discount for me and apply it even though I had already ordered it.

Pretty effin stoked.

Jeremy
