Lower crtl arms bushings are aviable from Lexus
Gentlemen what is a skinny on aftermarket lower control arm bushings? Why even bother with those when oryginal bushings are aviable from Lexus? Can anybody elaborate?

Heheh.... How should I call those Lexus bushings I`m holding in my hand? Collector items?
I think I should put them on e-bay then
Anyway, I bought myself two oryginal front bushings today and ordered rear ones. They should be here middweek because of holiday....
Ball joints are integral part of the control arms so do not bother...

Last we heard, you can't buy the bushings separately from the stealership - you need to buy a whole lower control arm with new bushings already pre-mounted.

Those are kinda pricy. Front ones were listed for bout $50 and rear ones alround $60. I do not pay retail so I do not know for sure, just what I catched on the patrs counter monitor.
When rest of the stuff arrive I will rebuild set of the ctrl arms I have sitting under my toolbox and I will post some more info.
At first glance job look *****y. I mean, removal of the old bushings. After that, there should be no problems with pressing in the new ones

Well, this is news.
And, if available to the rest of us, a welcome alternative to the Vlamos and Daizen bushings.

"PREZ"????
After 9 replies, you still have not given us any info as to how we can get these ourselves, so you get no nomination from me!
