sakataj is right, I meant to quote dashocker sorry for the confusion.

But it is important to know how long everyone else has had them in for also.

I should mention I installed the steering rack and front and rear sway bar bushings from Daizen as well... I like the stiff ride, helps me stay awake on the way to work lol

I've had mine for 3 years on all arms in the front and I never had an issue. Make sure you use all the grease packets provided by Daizen, otherwise you're doing it wrong.

If you have stock springs, I would advise against polyurethane bushings on anything else but the castor arm. The stock spring might be too soft to overcome the additional resistance from the polyurethane and make your suspension travel somewhat "sticky".

Had mine in for 4+ years and about 100k. Only squeeks when its below 40 degrees. The OEMs at 80k were shot, the Daizens with 100k still look good.

My car is 100% stock and it's wandering all over the road. 01 430 with only 53K....brand new tires, alignment and still wander....I've read tons of info about this problem and most mentioned the culprit being caster arm bushing (which is #2 Lower Suspension Arm)....So from what I am reading, if I am replacing this bushing ONLY with the Daizen one, it will not have squeaking and will not impact (harshen) my ride? I'd like the smooth lexus ride....

Can someone confirm that?

There's lots of mixed opinions on this board about em. Personally, I don't think they negatively impact the ride quality, but I'm lowered with 20" wheels so wtf do I know. Overall, it gives the steering a more solid BMW-esque feel.

Mine squeak going outta the driveway bump first thing on a cold morning. After riding around for a bit, they quit squeaking. As long as it's above 40-50 degrees though, no squeaky.
