Default Ls430 subframe bushings needed

Hi

I’ve been advised I need to change my rear subframe bushes on a 2004 UL. I’m based in UK, does anyone know where I can source from please? I’ll go global if needed.

Thank you

Attached is Lexus exploded parts diagram and part numbers for North American LS430 rear subframe.




upper/lower rear subframe bushings


If subframe bushings are tired, what is condition of rear differential bushings?

Curious how you/they figured out that these bushings needed replacement? Been on these forums for 11 years and don't recall anyone talking about replacing these.

this is what I’m curious about. I did have my front lower castor bushings replaced with PSB ones and I’m wondering if they’re squeaking.

when I stand at rear of car and push down there’s a squeak. Driving along I find that it’s when you go over a bump the car has an awful creaking noise which I’m guessing is dry rubber.

never did it when I first bought it and it’s been in no accidents so I’m wondering if they may be part of the issue

I’ve never seen them mentioned here, but the SC400/300 and MKIV Supra guys started changing them out a few years ago. They say it makes a big difference but those cars were from the 90’s and most stuff is worn out by now.
