Default Lower front strut rubbers

Does anyone know if you can buy the lower front strut rubbers on a 90 LS400 or do you have to replace the whole strut assembly.

not entirely sure about the UCF10, i know you can on the UCF11 (93--94) but i didnt see the lca bushings on l-tunedparts.com so i dont think so. you can change UCA bushings tho.


(this is all on the assumption that by strut rubbers u mean the lca bushings. or are you talking about the bump stops? )

Not talking control arms. Talking about the rubber bush at the bottom of the shocker.

You mean in the "eye" of the lower strut housing?
Never heard of it being changed by itself. You Aussies seem t be extremely inventive so let us hear how this turns out.

I suppose we seem like this because a lot of the parts on cars like this are 2 to 3 times the price to replace so it makes $$$ sense to improvise. Common parts however, oil, brake pads etc are much the same price as you guys pay.
