SDORI Brass Bushing Kit - FYI

JAV4 · 10-12-2009, 10:12 AM

I installed a set of the SDORI brass bushings on a new idler arm over the weekend. The bushings are made specifically for the McQuay-Norris FA5040 sold at Autozone. The swap took an hour including removing the old unit, swapping the bushings out, and installingg the new idler. Frank with SDORI is a great resource for the stock IFS guys out there.

RMA, I know exactly where your friend's place is. You can't miss it.
I was looking at your Lexus swap, ambitious indeed. I was curious about the sequence involved in dropping your transmission. I will need to replace my rear main seal and am debating to have it done or roll up my sleeves. What do you think?
