Default Confused about caster arm bushings vs control arm bushings!

Hey guys,

I'm going to order the Daizen control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, and steering rack bushings from TM Engineering for my 2001 GS430. But, I keep reading threads about caster arm bushings and how those are the main culprit in a lot of the GS430 vibration/shimmy. I asked the guy at TM Engineering about caster arm bushings, and he said, "Those are probably the #2 bushings which are included". However, I also talked to a parts guy at Sewell Lexus, and he said that the caster arm bushings are different. Does anybody know?!!! I'm very confused and want to make sure to get the correct work done.

Thanks for your help.

It's the "#2" bushings for the #2 control arm (your caster arm).

If you're ordering the whole Daizen kit it will come with these bushings, they're the biggest ones out of the bunch and will require a press or some creativity to get them into the arms.
