Ok so I confirmed the p/n with my buddy at lexus. His p/n is (48674-50030) at $120 each. This matches the p/n on sewell which is $144.81 each. I'm going to go ahead and get those and some OEM tie rods while I'm at it. Not sure what his price is on the tie rods but I'm guessing it might be a tad lower than sewell's at about $50 each.

I'm so stoked to get rid of that stupid clunk/knocking sound when I turn the wheels. Since I did the lower ball joints this past weekend, I've noticed the clunk happens when I'm turning and moving forward now too. Before the new ball joints it would only clunk when turning in reverse? I guess with the new stiff ball joints it has less play in that area which is putting more stress on the strut rod bushings?

Oh, and my new brakes feel amazing! Still waiting on my SS braided lines, but I would recommend this brake upgrade to anybody that wants a little bit more stopping power at a good price.

Thanks PD; I didn't know that.
