the is200 bushings you're looking for are the ones you need.

Sorry, thought you were looking for the traction rod bushing. Pic was kind of confusing. the bushings below are what you need.

trd makes them as well.

so i know you think im following you but this is 100% purely coincidental i assure you,OP is referring to the rear control arm and not the trac links.....which don't come with a bushing either though so that still wouldn't fix his issue even if it was the right part.

OP if u need the trac links you would still need a replacement bushing which you could get here

but going from your first/second pic you need the Rear Axle Carrier Bushing from the thread i linked

Do you have the direct link for the rhd ones? Or a contact number so I can speak to someone and know they are correct?

as i said before......u still need the bushings for those which is what OP is trying to find (well actually he wants the bushings for the rear axle carrier) so these items dont do him any good

Figs bushings for this repair are great. Install was easy. This is kind of a repeat thread so mod can delete please. Thanks

Default Similar Issue

Hi Guys, I was wondering if someone could perhaps help me, i have a similar issue and I have a 2002 SC430 model and I am required to buy some Rear lower control arm bushes and i have been told they arnt available anything other than Japan and will cost approximately $800 each.

Would anyone know what part I should be buying, where i could perhaps buy it from and at what approximate cost ?

I just had this feeling i would be getting ripped off big time!

Cheers
MonB
