RX 330 rear carrier bushings
Does anyone know where to get these bushing for RX 330 ? Is there any other model of Lexus using the same type of bushing . Just for clarification, the RX 330 has two arms connected to the rear carrier (knuckle) and the bushings are pressed into the carrier assy. Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys , I checked Sewell and sure they will sell you rear carrier for $ 460 each . This is not a good option. I was hoping that someone went to the same problem and found part that will fit. I will keep looking and will post the results

If registered with Sewell as a member of Club Lexus the discounted price for the part is more like $340 plus shipping -- plus or minus as you did not say whether you have FWD or AWD and the price varies per side as well. About as good as it gets.
If you are looking for much cheaper than that your only hope would be used one pulled from a wreck. Check eBay.

Curious northstar, how many miles on your car? I am looking at an 05-06 330 to replace my recently sold 04 MDX and sniffing around for things to look out for.

it has only 80 000 miles and for some strange reason one forward bushing was worn out , when u grabbed the wheel you could feel some play , similar to bearing ply
These bushing are also called cross axis joints or flex bushings and not sure if mdx has them but not all OEM sell the replacment parts
