Control arm and ball joints
Do yourself a favor and get these. They are way better at stabilizing your front wheels. They are a Toyota part.
Here you go for parts: LEXUS RC F/GS F GENUINE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING 48075-24010 & 48076-24010,
I bought them off of e bay. There are lighter duty ones, if you wish. These are a much better Toyota design than OEM.
To install:
1. Put the car on a lift, ramp or jack stands
2. If you do not have a really good impact wrench, go to a shop and have them break the nut on the bushings shaft loose. Retighten lightly.
3. Remove two vertical screws and nut. Slide off old steel mount and bushing. Remove washer behind bushing. Do not reuse this. It is not used. The new mounts have a front and a back and a right and a left. Two part numbers. Figure it out.
4. Use pry bar to remove and install as necessary. I greased the shaft for the new bushing.
5. Start vertical screws by hand. Do not cross thread them. Very Bad. Torque small screw to 45 ft lbs. Large screw and nut to 105 ft lbs.
6. I did not re align the front end primarily because the small screw seems to do it for me.
