I am new to this forum so Hello and nice to meet you.
I have a 1999 GS300 with ~310k on it. Engine works like a charm but my suspension is slowly giving in. My mechanic said I need lower bushings which I circled on the picture.

I have been searching on ebay for an aftermarket bushings however, a lot of them are advertised as 00-05 model. Second generation GS300 is 98-05, so my question is, would the sizing of the bushing be the same for 98-00? I know that you can get these bushings in 60,2mm and 65mm (or something close to that, I can be wrong)
I did read a few posts on this forum, actually one of them is a sticky post, where a user changes these bushings and shows two arms, one thinner and one thicker, is that the thicker one from 00-05 model and it also have a bigger bushing?

Does anyone know where I can get these bushings, with shipping to Canada?

Thank you very much

 

The 01+ bushings are thicker than the 98-00 ones. You can buy the bushings themselves from Sewell Lexus though.

Or you can get Spherical Bushings from FIGS..

I'd buy two replacement arms, with the bushings already installed. The prices have come way down to about $100 per arm, and will save hours of labor of pressing bushings in and out.

 

^ What he said. Just upgrade to the 00-05 arms with bushings already in there. OR an even cheaper route is pulling two arms from an 00+ GS from a junkyard and press in the Roca bushings. Search around for the results with Roca. I have them as well as the gentleman who posted before me and we both have had zero issues.

 

Soooooo then instead of making a new post why dont you post in said sticky to help keep the clutter down?

 

Thank you for your replies. Will try to get the whole arm for sure.
And yes sakataj, I could have done that however, for some reason I thought this sticky post was finished and couldn't comment in it. Next time.
