Ok, good deal. I didn't realize you were referring to the CA bushings. I will keep an eye on the rack ones though. Don't know if your interested, or if the rules on posting links to other forums, but if you go to the SC300 Suspension forums on CL ... one of the most recent threads is a picture install of a full 12 piece set of IKEA CA's. Really sick ... the guy spared no expense. Check it out if you care. Thanks for the responses! BTW: Your thread reviewing all the SC mods that you have is priceless man. Excellent post man!

What should I be using to lube these? I can't really do much, as I already have the Diazens already installed. 2 Weeks and no problems yet .... *crosses fingers Also, does that mean that the stock rack bushings that were on my car had metal side plates? If they did then mine vanished, because my bad bushings (OEM, but old as hell) were just some horribly rotten rubber... no metal that I could see.

Thats the first I have heard of that. Most of the CL guys have used the Daisens, and I haven't seen one complaint. My are good, although it has only been 2 weeks since install. You obviously know much more about the car than me. This I admit, but I just checked Ebay, and all of the Rack Bushings that I see look really cheap. They all use plastic, as opposed to the metal cores in the Daisens. Also, the price on the website for the bushings is the real price. When you say the guy is shady, perhaps you are referring to his personal mechanic work, or custom parts? What ya think?

Rack Bushings for sure. MIGHT also be the LCA bushings. If your a poor man like me, do this step by step. Go to TMengineering.com and get the Daizen Rack Bushings ... $47 shipped to your door. Go to clublexus.com, and do a search, there is a thread with a step by step with pictures on how to change these yourself. I did it, and it fixed my the misalignment in my steering wheel, as well as tightened up steering a lot. If this does not totally fix the problem, then you need to get the LCA bushings as well. Shouldn't be too expensive. I do have a used, but good condition, lower control arm assembly for sale ... on the cheap. Hope this helps. Now if only someone could reply to my Power Steering thread, I'd be set! lol

I just took put my PS back together on my 94 Sc300 The part that screws on last, with two tubes which small hoses clamp on to (excuse my ignorance). When taking this apart, I forgot to note which hose plugs into which tube from this part. One hose seems to go to the cylinder area, while the other connects near where engine oil is added. I have masterfully paint shopped a few pictures to clarify. http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3219/ps1jn2.jpg http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/552/ps2rd0.jpg I need to know how these match up. Side w/ Tab goes to side 1 or side 2 ? I really appreciate any help you could offer. I am a noob in desperate need unsure.gif 1st post btw....cheers.gif
