Default Front-Lower Control Arm

Can anyone confirm if the ADUS 530 will fit in a 1996 LS400 front-lower control arm? There are places that say both that it will and that it won't. I know all about the pros/cons of using non-oem bushings.

Similarly, can anyone confirm if the OEM bushing #4865450010 will fit in the 1996?

Thanks for any info.

4865450010 bushing fits 90-94

1995-2000 lower control arm .... never seen a bushing, only the arm... but you keep looking.

Has anyone ever used these? If so can they be replaced without a press and similar to the way rear carrier bushings come out?

I understand the pic shows lower control arm bushings and strut rod bushings. I'm aware the strut rods need to be pressed in and I have already done those.

I had these bushings pressed-in on my front lower control arms on my 96 Ls400. The car tracks down the highway much better and has no annoyings "thuds" when I shift into reverse.

It's also not that difficult to get the control arm off, easier than a tutorial I saw somewhere.
