Default Daizen Bushing Question: SC400. PLEASE HELP!

I recently installed the Front - P/N S1-2004 and Rear - P/N S1-2003 bushing kits for my 1992 Lexus SC400. I also have the Daizen Sway Bars, the Daizen polyurethane bushing steering rack kit, tokico struts, and eibach springs. The car was driving normally before the front and rear bushing install. The car has been aligned to factory specs and it still pulls hard to the right, the rear wheels now have a large amount of negative camber, and the car is sitting about 1-2 inches lower than before. Could anyone please help me? Thank you.

check your front swaybar. The swaybar arm ends should be above the lower control arm mount and the endlinks should be perfectly vertical.

Correct position:

Could it be installer error? I have had the daizen kit in my car for about a year and zero complains.

A lot of us have the entire Daizen setup including sway bars and enjoy the ride, nice and comfy...

Sounds like you goofed on your install or had an incompetent mechanic..

I had a professional and extremely reputable suspension shop in town do it for me. They must have screwed something up. I checked the sway bars, they're fine. I'm not sure what to do. But it's driving me crazy. Thanks for the help everyone. Any other ideas, please give them to me.

Noel, the bushing that is missing is one of the LCA bushings (most likely the ones that have failed on your car). I wouldn't bother with the daizen bushings and just buy the prothane kit for your car. Daizen bushings are just rebranded prothane products anyways. Even the part numbers engraved into their bushings match prothane's part numbers. The only kit that is unique to daizen is the front bushing kit for 97+ arms that include machined bushing cups.
