Does anyone know of any brand that makes good caster arm bushings for the 2001 Lexus gs300. I've been doing a lot of reading n some people suggested the daizen caster arm bushings but I can't seem to find any.

Are those as good or better than sewells? Cause dam 150 for some bushings.. That's pretty pricey.

MasterKwan

The sewells unit are probably the entire arm. Lexus doesn't just sell the bushing I don't believe.



I assume you're talking about 48068E

GS430 ones are cheaper. The Figs bushings come in 2 styles. Poly and spherical bearing. I have the spherical bearing one installed on my car. I don't expect they'll ever wear out but, if they do, the bearing is replaceable.

Figs all the way. I have the poly ones. They are awesome. Worth every penny.

I did do my research I was comparing sewellel price to figs. Figs which is almost double the price so you're saying Sewell parts are garbage? Cheap?... I just wanted to know what's the difference.. A higher price tag doesn't always mean it's better quality.

DriftOner

Well the figs aren't going to wear out for the most part since they don't have to deform every time the suspension moves. Pay a little more for the one that will last a lifetime if you plan on keeping the car.

Can someone give me some inputs on each of these bushings on the ride quality and how long they usually last.

The L Tuned and Sewells are basically the same part.

I wouldn't use poly in the #2 bushing spot. Well, other than the figs poly because it's designed for it. Both the L-Tuned and Sewells look like they'd bind.

I just ordered the FIGS poly yesterday. Looking forward to install them soon.

I originally had Daizen but it wasn't worth a damn. They're 'okay' if you'at at OEM height and you drive on smooth roads. Got sick of them so I threw in some OEMs that are now wearing out. The FIGS should keep my car happy for a while.

Just installed my FIGS urethane bushing. Haven't driven it yet, but pressing in the bushing was a hell lot easier than the Daizen.
