Daizen Sport Tuning G2-2030 Polyurethane Steering Rack Bushing Kit 98-05 GS300 GS400 GS430

So my bushings were shot and was having a lot of play in my steering and after searching around I found these and wanted to give them a try after a few other Lexus gs owners said they had a great experience with these and sure enough, so have I. Installation isn’t too hard but the quality of the bushing are great.

These made a huge difference in the way my 2001 Lexus GS430 handled. The old bushings allowed the rack to deflect, causing a lot of bump steer issues. Tighten up the steering feel, too. The only problem is that now I can tell that the Shocks need replaced...

Was a VERY tight fit for the drivers side 2 bushings. Highly recommend using a 120mm M10 bolt and nut with a 21mm socket for installation. Use the bolt to pull the bushing into place. also, the metal bushing that slides into both driver side bushing I had use to a bolt to get in 1/4 way in and then use a mallet and long extension to make it fit flush. Be sure to grease before sliding that in!Ride feels bit better, lack of good instructions sucked.

This reduced the vibration a little bit, if you do have bad vibration in the steering or handling in general.. i recommend changing suspension, bushings or even balancing your tires the RIGHT way.. However this was an easy install, they do need to be compressed and nobody mentioned that in the reviews so i will. you dont need to buy or rent a compressor, you can always make your own with some tools you may have.

Installed on 98 GS300. Was a bit of a pain to install the smaller top bushing as there wasn't an easy way to push it out. But otherwise it was an easy install in the garage on jack stands. Would definitely have preferred a lift but don't have access to one. SIGNIFICANT change in the feel of the steering response and sloppiness (or lack there of) of the steering wheel. Would highly recommend to anyone that hasn't changed theirs out and want to eliminate that sloppy feeling in the steering wheel.

The two matching bushings were somewhat difficult to get to install into the rack, the other bushing was no problem. did solve my wandering steering issue

great quality. relatively easy to install took about 2 hours. solved most of my sloppy steering in my 01 gs300. after replacing the lower control #2 castor arm bushings and steering bushings finally eliminated all vibration.

I lowered my lexus and changed the bushings out even though my original were still good. It seems to be stiffer in the steering with more responsive control.
