Hello all
I have to replace the control arm's bushings and since Lexus doesn't have bushings I either have to buy complete control arms for $210 or just replace the bushings. Any suggestions for a good brand bushing for CT200H?

Rock Auto has bushings and control arms, and the arms are far less than 210 a piece.

Lexus control arms are pricey. Lexuspartnow.com has them for $159.30.

Whole controls arms all the way, that way, you normally get new ball joints ready to go with them. It's a bit of a dance to do control arms on the CT. I had to loosen some engine mounts and jack the engine a bit to clear some of the CA bolts. Good luck!

I remove the oil filter housing and replace the two o-rings. There are 3 M8 bolts to remove. This is much easier than removing the engine mount on pass-side unless you’re also working on timing or head gasket.

Nice! Never thought of that, thanks for sharing!
