Default Need Help 1999 SC 300 Lower control Arm bushings.

Ok I bought a Sc300 at the local auction. I've been looking for one for a long time and finally found one I thought was in good enough shape for me to buy and not have any trouble with. WRONG. I was getting a vibration and some noise at around 70 so I figured lets try new tires. bought 4 new kumho tires and still got the noise tire shop recommended wheel bering. Wrong again. I went to take the spindle off to replace the bering and I saw the lower control arm bushings were completly shot. I'm talking a half inch of wiggle on the control arm. My question is Should I buy the after market bushings or replace the LCA. if I do replace the LCA my car being a 1999 Is it still interchangeable with the supra LCA. if so can someone post me the supra part number LCA that will interchange with my lexus. And can you tell me what the difference between the supra LCA and the lexus LCA is? Thanks guys im new to the SC world and almost **** myself when lexus wanted 740 for a LCA.

How are the ball joints? If they are bad too, then replace the whole LCA.

Default ball joints

They seem ok. no wiggle in them. I do want to just replace them but im trying to get someone to tell me if the supra lca's are interchangeable with the 99 sc's and if someone has a part number for the parts from toyota. I'm new to the sc300's and am fairly ignorant about everything. But I want to make a sleeper out of mine and first I have to get ahead of the problems it already has in order to start getting to performance upgrades.
