Question Replacing Rear Control Arm Bushings

Hey guys,

I'm new here and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I own a 95 SC 300 and I know this is a common problem, but I wanted to know if anyone can answer some SPECIFIC questions about SC300/400 control arm bushings replacement.

1. I know they sell bushing replacement kits/sets (hard to find) by Daizen. Has anyone had these replaced and how much did it cost?

2. Can these bushings be replaced without removing the control arms? Obviously, removing the arms would increase the labor cost.

3. Does lexus dealers sell replacement OE rubber bushings without having to buy/replace the entire control arms?

I really would appreciate your help

please take advantage of the search feature and you should find all the answer you need on this topic as it has been discussed before.

They do sell oem replacement bushings but i dont know if they carry it at all dealers. I dont beleive its possible to change the bushings with out removing the control arms from the car. I beleive they need to burn out the old ones and you need to machine press in the new ones.

It isn't possible. They must be removed.
