Default Look what came today!

I great way to start the weekend. I come home to two nicely packed packages at my front door. What could they be you ask? Well, i'll tell you. Daizen steering rack bushings and control arm bushings. BTW TMengineering was great. I ordered these saturday and got them on thursday. Also in the second box is my b&m tranny cooler. I can't wait to get these installed. I'm thinking about doing an in depth DIY for the tranny cooler since there seems to be some confusions. But either way i'll update with pics for the Control Arm bushings, tranny cooler and all of the other little DIY i'm going to be doing over the next few days. Thanks for looking and wish me luck

Cool! Congrats. Do you plan on pressing old bushings out or just burning them out?

I need to do mine too - my passenger side is creaking when I turn up an incline and such.

Looking forward to it, Tim!

I plan to press them out. I PLAN too, worst comes to worst i'll burn them out but i really dont like having to burn rubber. We'll see how it goes.

I used customers@tmengineering.net, It worked everytime for me and i got a quick response back and fast shipping. I dont understand why the email's not working for you.

Bushings are in stock and safe to order guys! I got these three days from the day i ordered them. And i got an email response back very quickly. I highly recommend getting at least the steering rack. I put mine in last night and immediately love the new steering feel!

Go daizen man! Can't go wrong with polyurathane. I was looking at my caster oem bushings when i was installing my steering rack and they looked terrible. The caster arm bushings was completly ripped and cracked and the CA bushings were hard and deteriorating. And i only have 96k miles, Get er done!
