Default Caster Bushing

Hello everyone,

Needed help on where to find a replacement bushing for below. TM is no longer around so needed a place to get this.

12. Here is the bushing out of the arm.


Ebay shows this and I am thinking its the same. Just needed someone to help me confirm this.

Thanks

Well you can try contacting exact motorsports located here in california, last time I checked they had their own polyurethane bushings for our caster arms. There's also Figs engineering spherical bearings that IMO would be worth the premium. Might make the ride a bit harsher but the benefit of not having to worry about replacing it again is worth it, especially since it's one of our car's weak points.

I would use Super Pro bushings...also from AU

SPF3087K for GS 1998-2000 these have 60mm bushings
SPF4084K for GS 2000-2005 these have 65mm bushings

I found a few sources for them here in the US, FIGS is one; having them shipped from AU and or shopping around might save you a few bucks.

Neither one of those numbers work, I'm assuming its suppose to be 400583382411

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400583382411?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D400583382411%26_rdc%3D1
which too isnt the correct bushing like the one below. Theres a lower control arm #1 and #2, he needs #2. This ebay post and the roca below are for arm #1

Also OP, be careful where you buy because as one of the posts above shows, the 98-00 has a different arm than the 01+. Too bad you removed the whole thing with the ring, you could have gotten the poly's from Lexus.

Fit my 98 GS400 This is for 1 side. Lower control arm bushing and caster arm bushing. I just saw in his profile he has a 2002 though so I guess my link is bad for him after all. Dont buy from my link above 98-99.

Correct link for a 2002

I don't know what's wrong with my cellphone, I try to put something and the cellphone omitting a number but this time I did it from the computer and here are the 12 number of the parts on eBay. Also, I don't know the year of your car but in the description of the item tell you for what year work or not work. Here is the 12 number of the item on eBay. 400583382411. Are very similar to what your are posting on the first time.
