lower control arm bushing trouble
I have a 94 Lexus gs300. So I needed to get the lower control arm bushings replaced. I found some on ebay...only to find out the bushing does fit but the hole for the camber adjustment bolt won't fit.

don't buy that bushing if you were planing too. don't fit for ****. damn packaging even says its for a 93-97 gs300 but they don't work.
was wondering if anyone on the forums knows where I can get the right part that will fit? or would going to the stealership be the only option? I know the dealer would probably sell me the whole arm with bushing.
basically this is the bushing for the radius arm aka the 2nd piece of the lower control arm. yes who would of thought the lca is a 2 piece?

does anyone know if that is the right part number? that's basically the part I need to replace, but I want to make sure that is the right oem part.

Sucks that the ebay ones didn't fit as even the diagram in the auction shows which bushings. Did you e-mail them about the issue? If so, what was their reply?
Which number in the diagram below is the part you are looking for? Number 9?
1) Steering knuckle Left
2) Upper cntrl arm Left
3) Upper cntrl arm Bolt
4) Front lower arm Left
5) Bushing Bushing Back
6) Ball joint Left
7) Adjust cam Front
8) Adjust cam Rear
9) Rear lower arm Left
10) Cam
11) Shock absorber Back
12) Lower bracket Lower bracket Left
13) Spring Left
14) Bumper Back
15) Upper insulator Back
16) Mount bracket Back
17) Upper support Back

I found this out the hard way to after pressing them in. All i did was drill out the center to fit the cam bolt and you will also have to machine off some of the thickness because they are too tall to fit in. Factory was like 36.5mm and the ebay are 45mm....

yea exactly part number 9 in the diagram. hipresr. I had asked my mechanic if we could just drill out the center a bit to fit the bolt. he made a good point. don't want to drill it since if there is to much play in the bolt, it can get stripped or loose. I rather get the right part, instead of risking it with some aftermarket part again.

I am having the same problem with my car. To be clear, is the "radius arm" the same part as the rear lower arm (#9)? Also, came across this bushing, might this be worth it?

Are these only for the main arm (arm #1) or is this the main arm and radius arm for both sides. Doubt it since I only see 2 sleeves

They have the radius rod bushing even if it isn't listed, just send them a message very nice people to deal with.
