where can i find this suspension part?
every time i hit a bump/pothole. the whole front suspension shaking while the steering wheel staying in my hands without moving. I was thinking of replacing the lower ball joint, and sway bar endlink.but not sure what this endlink is called. seems to have some play (or is that normal vs the sway bar). anyhow i searched fleebay for endlinks, but only the sway bar endlinks keeps popping up. Also the rear lower control arm bushing ( caster arm?). is that bushing easily replaceable to should i just buy the whole arm? thanks

The first picture is for the headlight leveling system. There are two of them and they are located on the drivers side, front and rear.
the second picture is the lower control arm #2.
several threads on each item...just do a search. I replaced the bushing instead of the arm.

OK. Do u know if it's hard to take out the bushing for the rearward control arm (pictured) or should I just buy the whole control arm? $55 both bushing. $115 for each control arm.

That control arm bushing is pressed in and has a metal sleeve around the edge. Unless you have the tools to press one out and the other in you would be better off with a whole arm. IMO

the bushing were not too bad but we used a standup shop press, much easier.

I snapped one of the two lca bolt. Wanted to know where a good place to buy the bolt. Toyota needs needs a year /model car to match the bolt. I gave them the Lexus part number but said nothing came up Lexus didn't have any in stock. Also any tips to get the caster arm (lca#2) holes to line up? Saw a few threads about it l. Maybe some other ways.

you need everything loose to get the lower control arm #2 back in place. If not, it’s almost impossible to line it up.
