TRD or Daizen ? You can look into those but they're aftermarket.

umm.... why not specify what bushings you need or just buy them straight up and wait... in the end youll be waiting... better to wait sooner... than later. Just saying.

OR

you can try your nearest Lexus Dealership and hope they they have the arm in stock

How do you know you need new bushings?

What does the car do badly / poorly?

Will this fit to the lower control arm?

I did a full Daizen last weekend, steering rack/sway bars/ all front bushings, took about 6 hours. Worst part was getting old bushings out, the rest was a breeze. Totally worth it and suggested, drives like a new car. I believe all the bushing kits together were less than $200 shipped.

People have complained about long shipping times, I got mine in less than a week.

If your interested in doing it yourself there are excellent DIY guides in the DIY sticky.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE... I am waiting now for 2+ months for my bushings. I am going through the motions of getting my money back via my credit card company....
