Control Arm Bushings - Problem and Solution
On 8/20 I ordered a bunch of parts from TM Enginerring, Ebay and Rockauto. The Rockauto and Ebay parts came within a week, but TM showed as still processing. I had ordered the Daizen bushings from them. I tried to email and call with no success for a few days. I was frustrated that they hadn't shipped, so I filed a claim with Paypal with a note saying "I do want these parts, please ship" and almost immediately got a refund from them. I searched this forum and someone suggested ordering through the Amazon store, so I tried that. A week later the item still hadn't shipped, so I filed a claim with Amazon and was refunded. I did some more research today and settled on ordering Superpro parts. I was able to piece together the caster arm bushings, lower control arm bushings, and steering rack bushings for $185. I had a tough time finding the info on which direction to go in instead of Daizen, so I thought I would share my experience. The only part I'm missing that comes in the Daizen kit is the upper control arm bushings, which I don't need anyway as I ordered new upper arms. I ordered through suspension.com

Yes, Figs Engineering is one of a few U.S. suppliers of SuperPro bushings.
OP you will be very happy with SuperPro, did you source them in AUS or here in the US?

I sourced them in the US. Ordered them on a Friday and they were here on Monday. The steering rack and lower control arm bushings were about the same price as Figs, but the Caster arm bushing was about half price ordering this way.
