Default 1995 traction bars

I bought adus 505 and 5056 bushings for my rear traction bars. 505 fit and of coarse 5056 doesn't. Anyone know where to get bushings that fit or do I have to get whole replacement arm? I am not cutting down the 5056 like some suggest because it still is not the right size sleeve for the bolt.

I don't think you have any other option. The arm from Lexus comes with the bushing already installed unlike the previous generation where you could buy the bushing separately and press it in.

I don't recommend anything other than OEM when it comes to suspension on these cars except for a few minor parts. This is not a part I would cheap out on based on my bad experiences with other major aftermarket parts

Agree with fondu,this forum filled with tons of after market failures on bushings,bearings,suspension and rebuilt items.

Traction bar requirements depend on the track you’re running in. Is your car running faster than 9 seconds in the 1/4?

ok, sorry for the terminology. Some websites refer to them at trailing arms and some as traction bars.
