Cool Polyurethane pushings for LS460




I really love my car in a bit more sporty way and would love to make the handling a bit more stiffer and tighter and sharper. I am often driving in mountains and seems like the way I drive is eating my front suspension pushings like a track.

Did anyone have a Polyurethane Pushings in LS460 and if yes. From where to find them? Maybe custom pushings?

Thank you so much for all the replays!

Do a search here. This subject has been discussed dozens of times. Poly bushings are very firm and change the ride to feel stiffer. But doesn't change the handling. Search for more.

Unfortunately this isn't that kind of car, the steering wheel gives you no feedback of what the tyres are doing. You would make it stiffer but not necessarily sharper.

If I was hell bent on trying this I would get the swaybar and the electronic steering rack from the later fsport (13+) and some slightly stiffer springs.

Get a set of high end coil overs ($3k+), F-sport bars, rack and VGRS system, and TIRES. Get good tires before anything else and then go from there

what bars are we talking about here? Is the f sporr rack for the 13+ which I assume is for the awd compatible with an 07 rwd ? Interesting idea of it is because I’ll have to get the rack done at some point if I’m going to keep the car will be a good idea to get one and what it in.

Thank you guy's so much!
Yes, I will order these things from superpro.




What about all the rest of the pushing in front suspension?
Any chance to get all of them for my "Heavy duty mountain roads"?

I don't think anyone who has used poly bushings in a "harsh service" situation has ever reported back with results superior to standard bushings. I do recall several members reporting substandard life considering the amount of labor cost required to replace them sooner than anticipated. I hope this works well for the poster and they report back their results after sufficient miles and years. Reporting back after 5 months proves nothing.
