Cheap control arm bushings on Amazon

[Reducto]

I'm getting ready to finally replace the bushings on my van and happened across these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCOX112/

All of the bushings I need are available from that seller and a few others on Amazon, all around $10 each. They all came up in searches for the OEM part numbers but it looks like they may have been manufactured by some German company named Febest.

Anyone tried these or know anything about them?

[Reducto]

Nobody has any thoughts on these?

I've never tried this brand. They talk the talk, but can the walk the walk? I guess somebody will need to install some and report back in about 10 years :wnk:. Tim

does anybody make polyurethane bushings for the van wagons?

I checked into poly when I first replaced mine and didn't have any luck. 2 different local suspension shops looked for me too and couldn't find any. Please report back if you find a source.

Those German replacements look pretty fahrvergnügen to me! :LOL2: Not sure what mine are but knowing my shop they are likely from Napa. Best $20 you can spend on your van in my opinion.

I did a search on Amazon using the terms "Febest Bushing" and that brought back several hundred results. Looks like these guys make bushings for everything. They must be new to Amazon because very few listings had feedback. Of the feedback I found it was positive. Things like "very high quality", "better than OEM", "nice dense rubber & thick solid steel", "fit perfectly". This gives me a good feeling about these, but as any new product, time will tell. Tim

hey tim have you had to replace your bushings? if so which did you use and how did work out for you

[timsrv]

I've only used OEM Toyota bushings. They worked out fine. Due to the way they are mounted and the stresses imposed, you can't expect these to last much beyond 10 years/100k miles. Tim
