I finally confirmed that TM engineering and daizen has been gone.
Their website is till up, but they function not.

Indeed, a lexus dealer close by, said been gone about a year.

I want the new bushing for the steering and a new aftermarket sway bar to replace the OEM, or some suitable replacement.

Anybody ....Any help??

Anybody ever take another bar from some other intended car, modify it to fit the SC430??

Please help
thanks

Call Sewell Lexus 888-909-6633 and see if they have them in stock, I bought mine or my GS from them.

If Todd at TM doesn't have it, nobody has it.

My experience has been with them is that they may not even have a heart beat

I talk to empty chairs and get a better response

Tried Sewell today and whoever i talked to, was like??????? we carry OEM only.....

HVisone

Well... the TMengineering site will let you get as far as inputting your CC number..but I didn't proceed further than that.

I contacted Exact Motorsports and they said they no longer carry Daizen and referred me back to TM.

A friend linked me to some site with polyurethane bushings for our cars... I might try them out.

Worst come to worst, I just go with OE bushings.

HVisone

Never went that far....strange. I do not know what to think.
I do know what I want to think and that is they are still in business, because that sway bar is what my car needs more than anything

Would you please provide me with a link to the other site for bushings, if you would?

thanks

Breakthrough...

The first time I emailed them I got a verification response. It was some kind of spam protection system they use (it says you only have to do this once). But I never received a real response from them.

The second time I emailed them I didn't get the verification response, but they did email me back within 24 hours.
The second

Someone correct me if Im wrong but Lexus does not have OEM steering rack bushings. Its the craziest thing I ever heard but true. Same goes for control arm bushings. Which means you have to buy the WHOLE OEM part. or at least thats the way it is with my GS.

I have ordered quite a few stuffs from TM.
Todd always ships out my order very promptly unless the item is not in stock.

My guess is he doesn't have the sway bars right now.
The demand for the aftermarket products of the SC430 is very low, so I am not surprised it would take a long time for Daizen to even consider making a new batch.
I just ordered and received the control arm bushing kit not too long ago.


Maybe you can consider buying just the Daizen oem sway bar bushings.

$29.99 Only



Or you want to spend $140+ in the sway bar bushings (front only and no grease) made by ThinkDesign of Japan.
