Anyone know where to get some control arms, ball joints, spindles, stabilizer links? Hit a curb bent most of those parts. Need to replace them. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Question Improved lower ball joint?

Does anyone know if there is an improved lower ball joint for the 2001-2005 IS300 which would prevent this type of catastrophic failure?

No, The only upgrade would be the bushings.

Regular inspection is the only thing

Just Happened to me yesterday on my 2002 SC430. 175k miles and I JUST got it back from a full steering rebuild and tire rotation 2 weeks ago. Happened on the road doing about 50mph. Getting the bill for damage damage tomorrow
