Toe control bushings are pretty small right? And you can see them from under the car, correct?

I took my car to get some proper muffler hangers installed today, and while it was on the lifter, I took the opportunity to inspect my car a bit... I looked around to find out where the toe control bushings were, and too my surprise, what I found in where I expected to be were... hard, black plastic bushings.

But I assume those are toe control cancellers...

I sure hope so... saves me 40 bucks and like 5 hours of labor.

I definately need new bushings all throughout my car... they haven't quite fallen apart, but they're really soft... as are the toe end bushings.

Also, I noticed some curb damage under the car, on the frame rails. It was already bent a bit, now it had some grass on it, and there's some exposed metal... crap. I probably need to get that bent back into shape. I think that must have come from driving over a curb a few days ago (leaving a parking lot).

(btw, Tokico makes the stock shocks, right?)

Comparing to this picture, I'm 99% sure that what I saw was eliminator bushings (as they looked machined, and were hard as rocks...).

Now I get to add another mod to my list :p
