The above link seems like a cheaper alternative that will work on our 98-05 Lexus Gs's. $12.95 with free shipping.

No, that's the trailing arm bushing, not the carrier bushing. See post #88.

The part # listed in that auction is the "TAB-124RUB". According to their diagram listed in the auction that is the carrier bushing, no?

The "TAB-123" appears to be the trailing arm bushing, which this auction is NOT listed for. Correct?

lyonkster

Shrug, maybe. The part looks wrong, it is a rubber bushing as opposed to the factory rod-end type bushing. I wouldn't switch to a different design unless I had to. Why not get http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARM-BUSHING-REAR-ASSEMBLY-TOYOTA-CROWN-1999-2004-OEM-42305-22040/261248087362?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D163%26meid%3D9166937720729494807%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D261242605694%26from the same seller, this is what the OEM looks like.

@Mike from Figs:

Is there a SuperPro solution???

I replaced the traction arm ones and it made a HUGE difference. I would like to replace the carrier bushing and control arm bushing but I can't find a replacement for the JZS16#.

There is no Superpro solution because its not a poly bushing, its a bearing. I am looking into a run of axial type grease pack bearings similar to stock, but the precision bearings works well now that we have the tolerance sorted out.

Thanks Mike. After I asked the question, I actually worked out the answer for myself after reading through this thread.
I will hit you up for a pair in a week or so. (All my other Figs gear is going well) My next question then is, what about the bush in the lower arm? I am keen on your arms, and they are a very reasonable price for what they are, however, my wallet is quite empty right now. If Super Pro do a bush that will suit, it will be an option for me until I get your arms later on down the track.

I used the SPC tool on the traction arms and it was FANTASTIC. I had to use the impact gun though. I even used the tool mounted in my vise to remove the old bushings in the arms.

I am back in Australia after 2 years in Japan and successfully brought my JZS161 Aristo home with me. It's loving the Australian roads compared to the slow traffic of Japan!

Cheers,

Thanks to people like you we have solutions available.

I am wondering if the rear Axle Carrier (Knuckle) Bushing - Part Number : 37H125 from mount shop will work on my 2004 Lexus Is300? Also is there a difference between the one listed on ebay by IrL?

Thanks again Lyonkster for starting this.

Hi,

Thanks for posting this.You're help is appreciated!

I have a question regarding the bushing size! Do you happen to know if the Mount Shop Part #37H125 will work/fit in a 2004 Lexus Is300?

I know you also mentioned that I could get this bushing from a ebay seller named irl car parts! Is there any difference between the mount shop part? I contacted the mount shop and they said that their part was manufactured in Thailand!

Kindly let me know.

Thanks

Hi, Does anyone know if this bush either from NZ or the ebay irl guy will work on a 2004 Lexus is300?

We know ours do. I also wanted to add that the SPC ball joint press tool that we offer is a perfect fit for the installation/removal of this bearing it has a semi-circle backing that is the perfect clearance diameter for the bearing cup.

lyonkster

Ah, that is a nice tool! Wish I had that when I was pressing my bushings out!

Me too!!! Wow! Would've saved me some time
