just don't go with poly. IMHO poly may be sportier, but it will make the smooth ride of the LS a bit more bumpy. I would stick with rubber which i am pretty sure is OEM.

you do realize that Toyota/Lexus doesn't sell any OEM style rubber bushings for the control arms right...?

you would have to find them from ADUS...

I just put some of the ADUS one in my 94, for where the trailing arm meets the knunckle. Easy to install. I like them so far.

I think he was asking about REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS !!
Not front upper control arms !!!
As far as I'm aware Lexus don't sell the bushes for those seperatly , you have to buy the complete arm at something like $1400.00 here in Aus .
Looking at alternatives right now as mine are due to be done also .

I was not aware of that Sorry.

i'm so used to the 4wd scene, and toyota/lexus do sell just bushings for the rear lower control arms, just like the rear upper, panhard, front control arms, front panhard.
