Here's the part numbers for the nuts for the ball joints, lower and upper arm ball joint. I forget where you're at but there's Hoffman Lexus (Hartford) and County Line Toyota (Middlebury)
CASTLE (FOR FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT SETTING) NUT # 9017116050 $3.29
NUT (FOR SUSPENSION UPPER ARM) #9017112002 $1.47

This place has the bushing for a whopping 2.50 less, but it's free ground shipping. Ya save about $11 total. Nowadays every dollar saved helps.

Cool thanks guys. Quick question the bushing is the same on both the passenger and driver? and how hard is it to install could it be done in a weekend?

Yes they are the same left and right. Not sure how hard they are b/c I've never done mine but I'm sure if you use the search feature for this forum you can find a DIY or at least more info on them.

what bushings are you talking of ? The bushings on the upper control arms ? They are the same but you get new bushings with the new arms...
