Default Where to buy LCA for '98 sc300?

Prothane only shows 92-96. Im trying to avoid the dealership.

Daizen is pretty expensive but I think they may have them for this model?

thanks

thanks. I emailed them since they didnt show any listed for an sc currently.

I did see them at tm engineering fro 135 + 20 shipping.

I was hoping to find prothane for 55 or whatever but doesnt seem like they make them for 97+.

Alot of people said they fit perfectly, I think it's in one of xspsi6's threads.

this is what he posted:
Nope they are not the same as this is why I am selling them because they did not fit my 97.

97-00 control arms are not the same as 92-96 which is what the prothane fits however if you just need bushings then here is what I used on my 97 control arms

They are poly and what appears to be a 95a durometer.

Because you have to cut out the sleeve wit these and you don't with the prothane.
Basically the sleeve is a different diameter on the 97-00 so prothanes won't fit but the o/d on the lca is the same for all years.

I had access to a full service shop so 20 mins for me but if you do not then I could see it taking up a few hours.
