I want to know why nobody makes RUBBER replacement bushings for control arms.
 

Maybe I didn't search well enough, but in my search for control arm bushings, all that turned up was polyurethane. I hear a lot of people complain about the harshness of these. Why doesn't anybody make rubber replacement bushings similar to the Lexus bushings? Is it a legal issue?

rubber needs to be replaced way more often?

Well that's the thing. I wouldn't mind taking my car in every 70k miles for new bushings. I wouldn't want to compromise the ride of my car with bushings meant for sports cars just so I can save money. I thought driving a luxury flagship Lexus model was about comfort, not compromising the ride to save money. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think ti boils down to market demand simply.

personally i feel the ride is damn smooth already without rubber bushings...

OEM bushings are rubber rocan....

almost all the aftermarket ones are poly.

What is rocan?

rocan is the member i was referring to in the post above me.

lmfao...



thanks PD... wasnt sure.

TM Engineering has got one of the best bushing ever made, long lasting, durable. I have replaced my entire bushings of my LS400, about 4 yrs and 3 months, they are absolutely too good, especially the Daizen ones, you will never regret one you have put it on. The website is www.tmengineering.net.
