For many months I've had a rippling-popping noise while slowing down over tar-strips and bumps. My mechanic and I checked everything, one item at a time front and rear susp. Most of the front has been replaced. We found movement in the rear carrier bushings (lower control arm). I think this is the source. It appears you can't buy this bushing from Lexus. So, I see Figs makes a solid, teflon-lined bushing. I also see this bushing from Megan listed for the IS300.
My questions are:
Will the Megan IS300 bushing fit?
Is the Figs viable for street long-term use?

anybody have any experience with these?

Thanks for the input

Well my 2 cents is: after doing some cross referencing I find that the part numbers are different for each car, so may not be the same control arm thus meaning that the bushings may not fit.

No problem. There's a long ongoing thread somewhere on here where people describe a squeaky sound vs the popping you describe.
