Default imma make some bushings

Reasonable searching suggests that Daizen is no longer producing its famous bushings.

Rather than fork over $600 for stock control arms, I am wondering if a member here might not be willing to allow a mold to be cast on one of his/her Diazen bushings.

Is it feasible to just make a casting and have an injection molding shop run a few hundred polyurethane parts?

I would think there's enough of us here willing to pitch in that it could make financial sense to try this, if its doable in real life.

Well? Let's hear it...

Count me in.

There would be the bushing for the Daizen swaybars, right?

I bought new brackets for the front [ they are re-greaseable have zerks built in ] came with polyurethane bushings that have a groove in so the grease can really get to all of the inside of where the bar sits . The rear I used new polyurethane bushings from the same company that sold me the the front kit to replace the standard dfaizen ones. the rears are not re-greaseable . Check my signature I think it mentions the company taht sold me the kit. If not PM me I will look it up.

I'm interested in this too, as my front bushings have started squeaking again (after 5 very rainy / snowy months). If someone gets the company, would they please post it here?
