Default Control arm kits

I’ve been reading back years of threads but cannot find exactly what I’m looking for. Not going to beat a dead horse but I like to buy things and have on deck when the time comes. Does any aftermarket company sell a complete 8pc kit for the AWD control arms? Piece by piece will drive me nuts buying that way. I have a 2011 awd

Figs has kits for lower and upper fronts, don't know how there are though.

Oops....not the lowers for awd, the mains in awd are pretty beefy though not like the rwd. @Striker223 might know but he does mostly rwd I think.

I was also contemplating buying out all the suspension parts from wrecked car and finding a bushing kit and have them installed. Can’t find a full bushing set either for AWD. I didn’t realize all-wheel-drive was such a pain in the butt.

AWD I've just bought OE, RWD I usually buy Delphi as I have had great success with them across a few cars now with some having 40-50k miles put on them

Great info. Thank you. I’m learning sometimes hard to find as a kit.

So I found this kit on the website someone recommended. Correct me if I’m wrong. Am I missing lower control arms for all the sides and if so is there only one on the bottom ? Sorry for my inexperience.

Yes, it is missing lower arms. Also don't forget to check megazip and amayama.

You don't really need a kit per-say, rock auto or Lexus has all the arms for sale. Just add a full set to cart

Yes, I started to do that piece by piece and then realized I don’t have any clue what pieces I’m supposed to be adding to the cart. Meaning, I wasn’t sure what the suspension set up was for each side in front and back. So I thought it would be easier just to hit one button by a kit and be done with it.

Looks like that's gonna be a hard no. That will be a fairly pricey repair.

lol I watched multiple videos on the front. Not the rears yet. I can def change them myself if im just swapping. Not going to do the bushings myself if I go that route. I can leave car in garage on stands it’s just my toy so I’m in no rush. Doesn’t look too complicated I’ve done other car control arms before just nothing like a Lexus.
