I was looking around under my 02 LS430 and saw a suspension link that's next to the swaybar link on both sides that's loose. I was looking around online to order this part and I can't find it. Anyone know what this link is called? It's next to the swaybar link towards the motor on both sides.

Could be the stabilizer bar bushing. Can you take a picture?

MR ED

I'll try to get a picture next time I'm under the car. It looks like part 48820 but doesn't hook up to the sway bar and is next to it towards the engine.

Do you see it in any of this diagrams?

Any chance that you are referring to a tie rod?

It's the height control sensor link in the second pic.

My driver side one had some play on it and I'm wondering if I should replace it.

MR ED

I'm getting ready to do lower control arms and ball joints on the front end. If this suspension link was loose worth replacing it or not much of a concern?

It holds really no weight or load so it’s not super important that it’s tight like a control arm or sway bar.

That being said if it’s unusually loose, I’d consider replacing.

MR ED

Ok, thanks. It was definitely looser than the passenger side.

Are there OE parts or this would be a Lexus only part. I checked on Rock Auto and couldn't find this part listed.

AFAIK it’s a Lexus only part. No profit chance on third party suppliers’ end once you factor in tooling and development for such an uncommon part to replace.

MR ED

Makes sense. Thanks.
