front control arm bushings problem
everytime i turn by steering wheel, i hear really loud clunking sounds from my front left wheel. I believe its my bushings, so i'm thinking about replacing them. I know there are upper and lower control arms, while im at it, can anyone help me what else I should change along while im doing that?

Before you order check these threads out first. They're having obvious issues:
TM Engineering gone?

It's becoming clear that another bushing manufacturer (along with a reseller) might need to materialize and fill the void.

It seems clear that Daizen products are internationally back ordered indefinitely. Just when I am looking to replace them...
... and you guys apparently....
rears seem to be available still until those run out.
Prothane is an option. I don't see that they have steering rack bushings or what all for control arms. Upper, lower ... they do have control arm bushings though...

Do yourself a favor, and replace the whole control arm(s); I didn't and wound up doing so after a year.
The ball joints are a wearing item as well, and aren't available w/out getting the entire control arm assembly, they typically last a bit longer than the oem bushings.
Do a search for Supra control arms, and I'm sure I can't be the only one.
Unless of course you enjoy taking your car apart...

I was skeptical about ordering off TME.. but I had gave it a chance and ordered the Front Control Arm bushing just last week, and had recieved them USPS Priority mail just a few days ago. So it looks like there were no problems now.. and they don't seem to be on back order on these bushings.
