Hey folks, I have a question regarding a rear suspension bushing/component. I have been searching for a long time trying to find the correct bushing/part to replace what is missing in this suspension arm, but the main issue is I don't know what I am looking for.
Can anybody tell me the name of this suspension arm or direct me to the bushing that I need to buy to replace this? It's essentially a strud rod that once had a bushing that has now completely disintegrated entirely on both sides. I have had extreme tire wear on the rear tires which I assume is due to this strud rod being able to move freely side to side. I compared it to my other LS400 and it is not meant to move at all.
Attached are some pictures of what I am looking for. Hoping someone can send me in the right direction here, I have searched for almost every term I could think of to replace this but I have caved in and decided to ask a community that knows a lot more than me haha. Thanks in advance.

Expand the picture and look for your parts. And if its the one in the carrier assembly, it looks like they are NOT sold separate, at least from Lexus anyway.
These guys may be able to help too.

I did edit and put in NOT, I guess I forgot that earlier. Thanks to Bprakash

That's what I figured. Would this work?

I'm mainly having trouble with all the conflicting names for this part. Assuming at this point that the rear strud rod and rear trailing arm are the same thing, correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry, I'm still very new to repairs and owning 2 LS400s means I don't have to do a lot lol

Yeah what we do - is remove the trailering arm - clean out those old busings to bare metal, sand and paint - and then find poly bushings that will go in there and boom done. I am sure I can find it somewhere.

You are correct that Lexus does not sell a separate bushing. I bought PSB bushings. You will need to get an experienced mechanic to use an electric chisel to remove the inner metal collar so the bushings can be inserted in two halves from either side of the strut rod. Use PSB 505
