I just replaced my bushings last weekend for my '96 SC400. The old bushings were in excellent shape. This whole thing took me a good 2+ hr.
Now that I have a chance to drive it for two days my take on this is it was a futile operation. My steering was tracking perfectly straight before, now it's crooked and I have to spend $90 to get an alignment. There is no difference in feeling. No "night and day difference b.s. @#@#"
If your steering is fine don't mess with it. This is one of the mod I regret.

So your steering is EXACTLY identical to before?
I'm only asking because I've had a set of these sitting around for two years now, just hadn't gotten around to putting them in. Because the Daizen upper and lower C.A. bushings I put in a couple years back gave me so much more of a harsh ride (feeling every little crack in the road), I feared that I'd end up getting even more bumps transmitted up through the steering wheel by switching to the Daizen steering rack bushings too.
Can anybody confirm or deny my concern?

Poly/Nolathane/ in fact any plastic style bushes as they will ruin the way the car drives. It will crash and bang over even cats eyes!

Can this thead be updated with pics? I'm in need of these bushins but I called Exact and they said they no longer carry them. I think I'm going to buy OEM ones and try to slap them on. Need help though, those pics were pretty helpful when they were up. Thanks.

My car is a 98 and I'm sick of the vigorous wiggling of the wheel when I hit a bump. Probably these bushings will do nothing but I can't fathom anything else I could try...already got Supra LCAs on there.

Yeah, my bud (dfwff618) and I took car of his on his 92 SC4. Well actually he did it all. We had a camera and should've taken "serious" pictures, haha. 20 something degrees outside too. Feels like a different car now. I need to order some for myself now.

I'm not sure if TM really has them in stock anyways.
I ordered a camber correction kit months ago...twice actually, with no luck.
Same with R2's kit.
I'd assume if they are unable to send me the camber for so long, their inventory is just being depleted...who knows, maybe they still have a steering column set though
