Quick look at non OEM and OEM drive shaft bushing
 

Go to ebay and seach with "lexus drive shaft bushing" and you can see a (used) OEM bushing and compare it to new knockoff bushings. The knockoffs are real cheap ~$30 each. A new OEM one is around $200! You can clearly see that the OEM is much beefier but $200? This is another example of outrageous Lexus prices. A Mercedes OEM equivalent flex disc is about $50.

I just changed my rear shocks and just with a little movement of the sway links, the rubber boots cracked, which can be expected because they are old (1990). New links? How about $60 each from Park Place! A Mercedes sway link? $7.00!
