Does anyone know of a trustworthy aftermarket vendor that make the bushings for the 97 LS400's front strut rods (the ones that Scrappes showed on the right of his photo)? I know Febest makes the bushings for the LCA's. There's a vendor on eBay selling the front strut rod's bushings made in Thailand but I'm not sure if they're any good. Please advise. Thanks.
95-2000 are all the same

Billy you may have helped answer the question! This makes 2 aftermarket companies selling LCA bushings using the same part number for a wide range of years. Energy Suspension sells the same part for 90 - 2000. Febest shows theirs to fit 94 - 2000. The last year Lexus shows it as a separate part from the control arm is 1994.....

Guys- I believe the strut bar assemblies for the left & right carry 2 different part #'s (4866040021 & 4566040011) but for the bushings, it's the same one (4867450051), correct? Thanks.

Billydpowe- I know the bushings must be loaded with the weight of the car prior to tightening. When you said clock them properly, do you mean install the new bushings in the exact position as the old one? Thanks.

Billydpowe- Lexus/Toyota is no longer selling the bushing by itself. I guess they want to make more money by selling the whole strut rod assembly. Where & when did you get yours? Thanks.

I've called a number of local & online Lexus dealers but none of them carry the bushings anymore. Looks like I'll have no choice but to buy the complete strut rod assemblies.
