DIY - Rear Axle Carrier (Knuckle) Bushing Replacement

It's a bit more confusing than that Brian.. If you look at the picture in your link, it looks like the right thing. But if you look at the drawing for item #9 in the diagram (below), that looks like the inside bushing, not the one on the carrier end. I'd check with rhdjapan first (maybe you already did).
either way i will be ordering some of the RHD trd bushings i guess i will wait RoninEng to find out if RHD says they are correct if not i will install the ones from the guy on ebay. funny i bought these not needing them and now i have the mattress squeak from the left rear now
another reason i deleted my old post was i was kind of being a **** so my bad....

Figs are making some they believe will work, mike is out of the country and said when he gets back he's gonna make sure they are correct.
Irl_car_parts is the eBay user name, they said they had them but never got back to me. They said "next week"

Wait, so are the "TRD Rear Axle Carrier Bushings" that were linked earlier in the first post:
http://www.rhdjapan.com/trd-rear-axl...0-jzs161-17922
Not the correct replacement bushings? I figured they were based on the thread title, but it looks like they're meant for the trailing arm?
I'm actually pretty confused now.
edit:
Linking some diagrams in hopes someone might find them useful or help figuring this out:
edit II: Looks like the bushing that needs to get replaced is the camber bolt bushing?

Anchor, they have associated numbers in the description of the item now so it shows the link you posted above with the trailing arm so it's not it. Hopefully they get back to me and tell that number 9 Is on the outside not inside

Yeah, i was hoping that wasn't the case. I was all set to get them installed later today, and finally get rid of the annoying squeaking noise but oh well.
Might as well install them as I'm not about to RMA these puppies all the way back to Japan.
Btw, that schematic they have on the RHDJapan website is a bit confusing. It seems to show the "Rear Lower Arm Bushing Set" mounts near the camber bolt (outside) and the inside position of the "No.2 Lower Suspension arm". How likely would that be?
edit: Based on these pics, the #9 mounting position (inside position) seems to use bushings similar to the ones I linked previously and not the "Rear Lower Arm Bushing Set" that you're inquiring about which seem to resemble the camber bolt bushing.

I am confused too, that's why I took the link out. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused. As I said in post 135, the pictures and diagrams are inconsistent on the rhdjapan website, so I would suggest contacting them before ordering.

No worries it's a pretty confusing topic honestly. I did stumble upon this:
http://my.is/forums/f89/rear-knuckle...ng-lca-436154/
For the "rear knuckle lower control arm" on an IS300. I'm not sure if it's compatible but the bushings that everyones been getting on ebay are marketed for the IS200, so there's a chance it might be.
edit: I have heard of others using shaved down BMW bushings.

Just ordered mine from mount shop in NZ their part number for the bushing is 37h125 for the is200. I must admit if was all done through emails but after a few emails to their stores in nz they where able to process my transaction and email me an invoice. Estimate delivery time is 3 to 10 business days. My advice to all of u looking for this bushing... go to mount shop website click on their store locations and email one of their stores they got back to me extremely fast and took care of me now i wait for my bushings and finally het rid of that noisy mattress

I'm definitely considering it but I'd love to find these locally or from a place a little closer than NZ.
Figs, is this new part of yours available yet for purchase?
