Default Bushing and arms part number

Driving a 2013 4gs450h, GWL10. Time to replace all my rear bushings/arms. I believe it should be the same as GS350.

got this pic from one of the parts stockist.
any idea how to decipher the part number so that i can search online for the parts i need (marked red arrows)

Btw, would appreciate if u guys could share some websites where i can buy these parts at a good price.

million thanks..

What's wrong with your rear end, that you want to replace all the bushings? Seems unnecessary to me. Are you sure it's not something else going on.

I have a 2013 450h, 86k+ miles and no issues with the suspension or car at all.

My car is kinda riding like a boat when the road is uneven. Much more obvious if the rear is loaded with people.
currently at around 160,000km.

my rear left absorber was leaking at about 115,000km and i had both absorber replaced. Just did my servicing last month and the rear left absorber was found to be leaking again.
Suspected that those bushing/arm is no longer working well thus leading to the boaty feel and at the same time causes lots of unwanted loads and stress to the absorber leading it to fail prematurely. And the left side could be worst.
had did a check of those bushing/arms, didn't observe cracking, just some minor signs of those compressed lines which is normal.
when i got this car used, the boaty feeling is already there, but i thought it's normal for this car because previously all my cars were setup with BC BR coilover, already forgotten how stock absorber should feel like. Lol.

That’s really weird. Usually if bushings are bad you can confirm it visually. I also can’t say “floatyness” is directly related to bushings.

are u sure your springs and shocks are normal? Has it been modified and perhaps someone just threw in old parts like springs from a gs350 instead?

agreed with your statement on the visual part, my past cars never had this feeling and when the bushings give way, normally they will be making noise somewhere.

car is totally stock and had been serviced by dealership all the way before i took over it. I would have gotten back to BC coilover if not for the availability of the Sports+ mode. But i need to get rid of this floaty feeling first..
