Did you order the items on this cart? The reason I'm asking is that the depiction show for 48620-50131 does not look like the correct part. It should look like 48640-50131, except of opposite hand. Which part did you get? I'm need to order a set for my car but don't want to get the part as shown. Thanks, Roy

LILEVO is right on the money with the correct part numbers. I can confirm from ordering them last month from Discount Parts Monster as well.

You should polish those bad boys!
BTW I recently ordered and received these arms as well, but from amayama, and they only took a total of 6 days from when I placed the order to when I received them. That was much quicker than I expected coming from Japan.
As an update, I will be getting an alignment. The steering wheel is a little off center while driving straight. I'm going to assume the car was previously aligned with the bad control arms. Now that things are fixed it's off again
Awesome Post things so much for all that you do. Speaking with a mechanic yesterday who owns one our cars he was saying make sure to go on eBay and order the Lexus OEM "kit" for $3K and not the aftermarket knock offs Control Arms but I have also read on this forum elsewhere that Toyota doesn't make these and I am able to buy the OEM unbranded part cheaper. So my question is for this forum...
1. Where should I buy quality replacements? On ebay they have a "kit" from $400, $900 and $3000? which one of these is "sufficient" for me if I want to keep my car.
2. Seen that people do the ball joints and links at the same time. Since I am taking it to a mechanic to have it all done at once is this a good "rule of thumb"
3. If I bought these less expensive replacements what has people's experience been?
So far I have been very happy with the cost and performance of this approach. For what its worth, I have an extra set of the SuperPro bushings (BNIB) for the front upper arms that I could sell you if interested.

I ordered OEM parts from Amayama, paid right about $2000 for all 8 control arms and lower ball joints, with shipping and import duties.
