tarq,
As far as I know, there are no replacment OEM bushings for the rear. You just have to get new arms. That said OEM clone bushings are availible from Andrew Valmos. Google search "VFT Bushes"
Cheap Rear Control Arms??? LOL.

As for rear bushings, I agree with going through VFT Bushes...

Just an update guys i just got my Supra front lower control arms installed. These things are great, my car is riding like it should. Now if we can only find a solution for the rear arms.
PS. the Supra lower control arms are the way to go if you still want to keep a good lexus ride going

I was thinking a little closer to home, like NAPA Auto parts, using the size charts that they have.
I nearly foung a set for the front, but got the Supra parts instead. For the rear it may be worth going back and getting a copy of that size listing again, I tossed it out

Yeah, basically, it sounds kind of frankenstein, but it's worked for me for twenty years now with many different parts.
Even if you had to cut one down, it may still be worth it. I can machine stuff too, so I would even consider a sleeve and a smaller,firmer bushing.

so there isn't anything that can be done about the rear arms upper and lower?
and would putting in the bushings be hard w/o burning or pressing?
thanks

well you gotta press in any bushings...
Diazen makes a rear kit for $129. I have 146k on my 93 and the rears are still fine, the main problem areas are the lower front rear..
