Default Is this normal or missing/broken bushing?

Made a separate post.............Car was recently inspected by Lexus dealer and passed as perfect with no issues.

I asked the same thing when doing my LCA bracket/bushings. Apparently it's fine.



On the other hand, your LCA bushings probably could use an upgrade.

Thanks for confirming. I have warranty, they won't replace bushings unless they fail

Doesn’t look like a failed bushing it looks like a missing bushing.

Yep, I freaked out a bit first time seeing it. I guess it's fine though.

Re warranty, aren't these items (lca bushings) usually classified as wear items? Brakes, bushings, etc.

That Busing is worn and torn out. Not right.

Is that an AWD thing? Mine just has the shock absorber directly on the control arm.

Lanson said he also asked dealer/mechanic and they claim it's all good.
Its the same on both sides and there is no noise coming from suspension, and the car was inspected by dealer 2 weeks ago.
Do you have bushing there? Can you take a picture?
