I just checked RockAuto and I'm not seeing them listed in the drivetrain section anymore, but here is the description link:

Google the part number with Beck Arnley, GMB or Toyota and I'm sure you'll stumble across somebody that has them in stock. You'll need two of them for the portion of the steering shaft that runs through the engine compartment. There is a third one up inside of the steering column that is different (I believe it is only in the tilt columns). I wasn't able to find that one, but it doesn't receive as much wear as the other two.

Here are some shots of mine:

Fill the pipe with whatever you want... I tried a few different bouncy balls, and some foam golf balls. The golf balls could not rebound fast enough. The other bouncy balls were getting destroyed in the can. The ones that work are the ones I found at Target, in the party section. On the end of the bolt I fiddled with a threaded bumpstop, but it took soooo long the first time and I have found that a chair leg cap works just fine. Then simply weld the pipe to the frame (er wherever) and assemble.... I made a can for the fronts, but again, it was more work and in the back I made tabs and simply buzzed them to the frame...











Ive thought about making a build thread with part numbers.....but I guess its just a little to hillbilly. But they do work!

After using them for a year, I have broken 2 bounce balls in the back (easy to replace, the caps are only hand tightened). And the fronts either have a broken ball or are kinda compressed up in the can....So I simply added another bounce ball to those...meh. I only noticed the broken/compressed balls when I reached down and found slack in the piston...I didnt feel any difference in ride.

Each front spring takes 2x 90385-18007 (shackle upper) and 4x 90385-18046 (everywhere else). Each rear spring takes 2x 90385-18001 (spring pin, t.i front joint) and 4x 90385-18046 (shackle upper and lower).

The 18007 is of course longer, but I can't see any difference between the 18001 and 18046.

The Duralast SK6570 kit that Autozone sells for $5.59 contains four bushings that say 90385-18046 and "MADE IN JAPAN" on them. Win! I got five of those kits to do all but the front upper shackle. Haven't finished yet.
