Has anyone upgraded the front bushing of their suspension? I have an upgrade kit for the IS200, but I read it is not an easy job and you require special tools. Ormi might be able to help me I believe Big Grin

I would have thought the only special tools would be the blow torch to remove the old bushes - if they are really stuck in place. If the new bushes need to be pressed into place you can usually make something up to do the job.

I have used sockets before to press bushes in and a vice.
