Who needs steering rack bushings? Go here.
I scored thanks to SC4fanatic, thanks btw.
Armstrong distributors apparently is the company supplying Prothane and Daizen with their product.
Here is their website
http://www.armstrongdistributors.com/lexus.html
Their phone number is (866) 219-1220
Give them a call. Extremely helpful. My steering rack bushing kit was $35. While I was at it I picked up sway bar bushing kits as well at $19.48 each. Everything is on it's way via UPS right now.
So if you need a steering rack bushing kit and don't want to take chances with Daizen or wait for someone to get their stock in, this is the way to go.
I know this company has been mentioned on here before. I just want to let everyone know that you can call direct and place an order.

As far as I understand, it's the 2 urethane bushings that bolt by the gear housing. I dint think it includes the grommet tha goes on the passenger side of the rack. Give em a call and ask. If you want I can let you know when my stuff arrives.

One set comes with 2 bushings. One that goes on the front and one that goes upwards behind the first. The passenger side is held in place by the grommet. I don't understand why the would sa you need 2 sets. Look ip the steering rack diy on here. Good info.

How funny, I just ordered mine today, as the company came to my shop months ago and told me about their SC kits before I even had the SC. I was wondering if these were the same parts. I'm doing a big review of them, and I'll post up a ton of pics after this weekend. A big tip though when ordering if nobody said this yet, you have to order both a left and right side of each kit. Their part numbers are 500 for the rack, 526, 527, and 528 for the front and rear (upper and lower) Control arm sets. I didn't get the sway bar bushings, but I'm all setup with Armstrong now for all their bushing kits for a ton of cars.
Distributor cost on the control arm bushings isn't a whole lot better than the other companies, but I paid way less on the rack bushings, and the sway bar sets are way cheaper too, although you need to pay for 2 kits if you want front and rear sway bushings.
