Hi all, after a service from the dealer it turns out I need to replace these parts (image below), managed to find the sku oem numbers for most EXCEPT the ones in Blue. For context, this is for a LS460 RWD Base 2013.
Why the steering knuckles? Are the ball joints bad?
i have a pair of used front knuckles I can sell you. DM if interested.
I suspect, dealerships being dealerships, quoted to replace the entire steering knuckle because from what I have read - Lexus only sells it with the knuckle. In the event that I actually need new knuckles I'll def hit you up haha. An indie will be taking a look at it soon, the only reason why I sent it to the dealership was to maintain servicing records.
Seems like the knuckles are fine just the ball joints need replaced, but I have ordered all 8 control arms and some of them come with ball-joints - i should be covered yeah?

If the ball joints on the knuckles are bad, those need to be ordered separately. They won’t come w/ the package you ordered.
Stealership doesn’t sell ball joints for knuckles separately…they only sell knuckles with ball joints already pressed in. I paid $1k for a pair of knuckles, only to discover the ball joints on my original knuckles were still good. DOH!

Thank you for this, I am assuming these are OEM part numbers for the ball joints: 43330-59145 43340-59145
