Selling my brand new Daizen bushings
No competent local mechanics to install other than stealership, which is balking at installing them, even at 100 bucks an hour. I don't want to spend a grand to install 100 dollar bushings that I don't really even need.
So, if anyone is interested, they are brand new, in the box, sealed in the bag, just got them from Sewell Lexus last week. $90 shipped.

Daizen bushings
Just had the sway and the control arm bushings installed at a local Toyota dealership (no Lex dealers around my way). They were put on in addition to 18x8 Tourmaline's all from Sewell Lexus. The difference is impressive, granted I have 109K on my 98 GS400 but there is no more wandering on the road following every blemish and going all over the lane when braking on uneven road surfaces. This is a highly recommended mod especially for those of us with high miles. 
Thanks to rominl and all the others that keep the great info flowing.

Can someone break down what seems to be the best bang for the buck in terms of fixing the loose steering issue?
Is it the control arms? Upper or lower?
Or is it the new bushings?
And which items require more labor time?
I want this to be next mod for sure, just trying to get more info on all the elements involved. Their seems to be multiple items, with various benefits.

I suspect that just the bushing kit is ALOT cheaper than arms/bushings.
And JUST the Daizan bushings made your car's steering significantly improve? Or did you get new arms too?
Bought them from fellow CL member Nicknace (great to deal with) 
...will keep you guys posted once my mechanic swaps these in.
