To be honest, I don't think I've seen a picture of the rear LCAs (lower control arms). They aren't a big wear item, so you don't see them mentioned much... The bushing pivot on the right looks just like that of the front LCAs, and I'm pretty sure the sway bar endlink connects to the control arm, so I'm fairly confident in saying that's what it is.

BTW, it looks like you have a Supra rear sway bar, judging from the bar's brackets being directly to the subframe mounts instead of to the trunk floor like stock. I just did that upgrade a couple weeks ago.

I have one for a 96 sc4 and I'm 99% positive it is the same for sc3 up to 1998 or 1999.

You anywhere near King county?

From the limited research I did, they are the same part numbers. Call lexus and find out! I'm throwing on front lca's from the same 96 sc4 on my 93 sc300...one of these days lol. I'll message you my number so you can hit me up if you want them...

That part is called a rear lower control arm. There is a LCA #1 and #2 on this car, but I forget which one that particular arm is. Megan racing makes a replacement for this arm if you were looking to go aftermarket.
