Maybe I didn't search well enough, but in my search for control arm bushings, all that turned up was polyurethane. I hear a lot of people complain about the harshness of these. Why doesn't anybody make rubber replacement bushings similar to the Lexus bushings? Is it a legal issue?

rubber needs to be replaced way more often?

Well that's the thing. I wouldn't mind taking my car in every 70k miles for new bushings. I wouldn't want to compromise the ride of my car with bushings meant for sports cars just so I can save money. I thought driving a luxury flagship Lexus model was about comfort, not compromising the ride to save money. Maybe I'm wrong.

TM Engineering has got one of the best bushing ever made, long lasting, durable. I have replaced my entire bushings of my LS400, about 4 yrs and 3 months, they are absolutely too good, especially the Daizen ones, you will never regret one you have put it on. The website is www.tmengineering.net.
