I called Jegs and westminster lexus and they all seem to have stopped selling the front strut rod busing for the 1995.I even called 2 lexus local dealerships and they only carry the whole bar.

 

At the time I did this, the whole bar assembly was only available. A few in the past had managed to get an individual part# for these bushings alone.. PD might be able to chime about aftermarket bushing availability.

 

I should have done this 4 yrs ago when people were buying it left and right.

 

part number 48674-40051
I got mine (for my 97) at Park Place # 972 407 7000 or 1-800 275 5398

 

$91 for a bushing at park place and $220 for a strut rod.

 

I got mine cheaper, but I'm not sure about if it was sewell or another place. Shop around.

 

why would Jegs carry any oem parts

I bought mine from K3rry at Westminster not 2 months ago, and got the pair for less than what you quoted for one.

not discontinued at all afaik.

 

I hope that quote was for both sides blkstealth.

$41 each here - http://www.lexuspartseast.com/parts/...strut-bar.html

 

yes, HE quoted price for 2, at sewell they are 37.30 each for CL right now.
CUSHION STRUT BAR 2, 61.14 37.30 74.60

 

Nope, I specifically asked him and he said that was for each.I then told him others are selling the bushin and rod for a lot less than them.Sewell said they stopped.The only place is Carson and only by internet order.

 

I called a few Lexus dealers and longo, claremont, and puente hills toyota have all told me that they no longer sell the bushings by itself and they sell the whole assembly/bar with the bushing. Anyone know where we can find just the strut rod bushings?

 

I think these people have it.I will call them in a couple of hours.

Is this a common problem? I have a 96 ls400 and mine makes a thumping when I hit the brakes? I'm thinking from what I see on here its the same issue. Can someone enlighten me?

 

amazing, still no one can answer , did your clunking sound go away ? before I spend thousands of dollars chasing it, I may op to sell, even though I love the car, it's driving me crazy, and it still clunks, poor design on Lexus part !

 

Every place I've tried also gave me the "only whole bar" runaround, so I gave up and have lived with my continuously deteriorating strut rods for the past five years.
