Now that i got my coils ordered i want to tackle the rest of the bushings on the car. no idea if any aftermarket stuff exists for the LS400. a quick google search got me limited results. I've seen some kind of adjustable arms for the rear but that's about it. not sure if they are produced any longer.

any help would be great ^_^. Basically i plan on replacing ALL rubber components under the vehicle. This thing had any number of different fluids spraying all over them over the past 20+ years. I've degreased pretty much every thing i can reach but I'm sure there is still crap to be found.

i want to firm up the ride of this boat -___-

make sure the upper ball joints at all 4 corners are in good shape. After lowering the car it will put more stress on them and will wear them out even more faster. Roca aftermarket bushing seem to be alright if you want to do OE style bushings. Aftermarket urethane bushings tend to make the car too stiff and make noises (creak, squeak, etc...) But if you can live with that in a LS400 there are a couple places that make urethane bushings. Rear arms if you plan on more negative camber Megan racing makes them. Or if OEM specs are fine just replace the bushings.

It's a land barge.

Many of us are going through the same thing. I decided to go oem with bushings and ball joints since I am keeping it pretty much "old man stock spec". You will have to slog through all the posts to get up to speed. It will be time consuming but will save you money.

i would only replace the bushings that need replacing. why go through the hassle of more, unless money and time isn't an issue? the common parts are the front strut rod bushings, and the rear carrier bushings. then you'll need to check your front lower ball joints, upper bj, and steering rods for play.

as already stated, polyurethane is available if you want to loose that plush ride. make sure you grease them up well before installing or they will squeak!
