Roca-Usa Lower Control Arm Bushings

That sounds very encouraging, I hope I get the same result. I am only going to replace the two lower control arm bushings (well, four - 2 control arm and 2 caster arm), and I am curious if that will make the clunk go away. Then I'll need to figure out why the Daizens are clunking.

Agree, I am always looking for sources that supply replacement OEM type bushings, instead of forcing us to replace the entire control arm like Lexus does. So those rear knuckle bushings I found on e-bay, and now these Roca bushings, make me happy .

Where is the rear knuckle bushings?
Can you point me to the rear knuckle bushing. The link of the seller would be helpful. Thx

Did my Roca swap today: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7062204-post98.html
I think the bushings are pretty good, although they were not easy to press in. I'd say it's a tossup between spending $120 on the Rocas and then having to press them in, and buying two OEM caster arms for $230 and just bolting them in. It would save around 3 hours of work, something that was not fun today as I had a bad back .
But the ride is incredible, it's like have that new car back. I'd be hardpressed to ever go back to poly bushings again, at least not Daizens.

I agree. Especially if you have to press out the OEM bushings before pressing the Roca's in (I didn't have to do that because I already had the Daizens in). Too much work, that is not worth the savings .

What is the website address and link?
What is the website address and link? If you don't mind, how much was it? Honestly. I think the ROCA is a better deal if it is compatible or perform similar to the OEM. Cause you have the new Caster and Lower Control Arm as well.

These are the No. 1 Lower Suspension Arm bushings, does TRD also sell the more commonly needed No.2 Lower Suspension Arm (caster arm) bushings?

But I think they are no longer made. You can just buy the complete lower arms for the 2001 to 2005 GS and it will come with TRD type bushes fitted.
I got my no 1 bushes here.
