Default GS Control Arm Bushings

I need my bushing replaced on teh rear control arm. I have a 2001 gs430.

I see that daizen sends replacement bushings for the front control arms..


but anyone know if there are any available for the rear?
I think a lot of people are looking for there but noone has them!!!!

Dealer said I have to replace the whole spindle...they dont sell the bushing alone!!!

yes that is correct. I had a squeaking sound on my bushing soaked it in white lithium grease and it has so far stopped.

I had TM Engineering replace my control arm bushings on my 1992 ES300 a few years ago. They are in Carson, Calif. You could e-mail Todd there at
sales@tmengineering.net and ask if they have a source for just the bushings.
