a dreaded bushings question..
I have a 92 sc300. I hear a loud clunk when i switch into reverse or when i turn sharp to the right, bushings are obviously toast. Car wanders on the freeway **** what Sc300 doesn't. but seriously which Daizens do I get and what problems should I expect. Will I need a press? or I've heard a torch is handy. Also with Ball joints is that a whole new control arm then? thnx fo any help

I have the same problem, and its a combination of dead LCA bushings and balljoints. I have some Supra LCAs on the way to replace the entire deal. I'll see how much that improves the situation.

i dont have an sc but i had a 2nd gen gs. you do not need a torch if you have a good press. mine was pressed out and pressed in. after the work was done i replaced the ball joints and got an alignment. everything felt much more firm after all the work was done. i would say it was worth the work.

UT,
You really want to check the prices on the SupraTT LCA vs rebuilding yours or having a shop do it. I would go with Toy Supra parts and a stiffer rubber that the Supra gives you. The plastic is needed for racing but I have found it harsh for around town.
