yea but sewell sells OEM replacements, Daizen made polyurethane "performance" bushings. I do not believe you will get the same result. Now if you have the shakes bad and a bushing has actually gone bad then yes sewell bushings would get you back to stock.

Wow, I guess I was lucky to get my last set of bushings when I did! Ordered them on May 3rd just to get one lousy strut rod bushing because my mechanic destroyed one putting it in. I'll have to keep an eye out for the one lone bushing to complete the set then try and find someone to buy them.

According to Sewell, they do sell poly steering rack bushings http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2005/4558.html
I have the Daizen's so I don't know if Sewell's are "performance" bushings.

Has anyone replaced all the bushings in the maryland, dc, virginia area? I have all the bushings; steering rack, swary bar, and front control arms from tm engineering. However, my Lexus dealer will not install b/c they are aftermarket. I've called LXT automotive in rockville, they were hesitant to even do the work. Another place, Graves Auto in Olney said they would consier doing the work if I came by first. Has anyone in the area, or close by even PA, DE know of a shop preferably that they have used and had this work successfully done? If I knew the mechanical side of this car well enough I would do the work myself, but I don't even have a garage to start. Can anyone help? Please. Thnx!

Default After Bushings Install

I got great deal from Sewell for the steering-bushings and had them installed. Now, when I enter a turn a little bit more lively (really no reason for a cop to be around for) come to a stop and then want to accelerate around the corner, VSC comes on and is activated. Very concerning. I have read something about the Zero-Point-Calibration for the steering, did my shop forgot to do so? I can't believe that the rear wheels would be spinning, no dampness and solid roads. Please let me know what you think.
