Default Roca Bushing part numbers for 98 99 and 00 + are different?

This ebay ad says that the bushings won't fit 98 99 models. Why wouldn't these fit a '99?

Hmm, thats what I thought but thought maybe the diameter of the hole which the bushing goes in would be the same. Why does Roca-USA's website only have one part# available for the 98 to 05 GS's ?

From their website: http://www.roca-usa.com/product.php?...roducts_id=120

Lexus GS300 00-05 Front Lower Arm Bushing
Part #: RC-666092
Lexus GS300 00-05 Front Lower Arm Bushing 2pc/set *RC-666092 comes with OD (Outside Diameter) 65mm on the bigger piece bushing



So where can we '98 '99 owners get Roca Bushings? was the '98/99 control arm the same one they used in the '97 GS maybe?

if you would like a better bushing for either year then use ours. They are designed to pivot freely.

ROCA has a part# for the 98-99 cars, the part number is the same but has a "-98" at the end.

Their site is just not updated.

The early cars use a 60mm bushing, the later ones use a 65mm one.

Also IMPORTANT -

Actually CHECK your bushings because I ordered the wrong ones for my car since someone updated my arms before I got the car so mine are the larger ones even though my car is 99.
