Hello all,

I hit something on the freeway and afterward noticed steering drift under hard breaking. Over time it has progressed to wandering over rough roads.

Performed an inspection using car ramps and found that both my lower control arm bushings on the passenger side were damaged on the freeway.

I have been shopping around and found the aft bushing is sold with the bracket all in one. And it seems that the forward bushing is only sold with the lower control arm itself pre-installed. I have found venders that sell the forward bushings separately but since I am unable to confirm the part number, I am not sure if they will fit. I am not even sure they come off. (press fit will come off of course) So has anyone done there lower control arm bushings?

Parts I have found:

1. aft bushing listed as: "Control Arm Brkt - Part # 4807630040"

2. fwd bushing with Arm listed as: "Lower Cntrl Arm - Part # 4862053020"

3. I have also found a listing for the fwd bushing sold separately on ebay but I cannot confirm the part number.
"Suspension Control Arm Bushing Front Lower Febest TAB-234 fits 06-15 Lexus IS250". It seems that the "TAB-234 is the only number associated with this part.

Does anyone know if I can change the fwd bushings on my existing control arm? Or do I have to by the entire arm?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
