I don't believe that lower control arm bushings need to be replaced as often as Lexus or independent shops mention. I'm going good and not planning on any replacement. Go spend the money if you like........
I replaced mine because I was getting vibrations in the steering wheel which was more pronounced over bumps in the road. I wasn't getting any creaking or squeeking noises but I would get clunking over the bumps. My car feels smoother and more controlled now that I have new bushings.
