Hello fellow CLites, long time reader but have not had many posts. I have a 2010 LS 460 AWD that I purchased a few months ago. I was doing the first oil change this weekend, thanks for the DIY writeups it made finding the oil filter so much easier with all the plastic on the underbody. Anyways I was checking the control arms and while they appear to be in good shape I know they will need replacing eventually. My question is when I looked at all the sites like rockauto, amazon, ebay and a few others the only parts I could find were for RWD, I wanted to know are these parts interchangable with the AWD model or am I stuck with Lexus OEM parts. Any responses will be appreciated please and thanks!

 

Try looking up parts here. http://www.*******.com/parts/q_U_201...~460L_all.html
I use it for my 4runner and GS300 all the time.
The VIN reference is kinda confusing...

 

Btw, if you sign up, you can see the diagrams too.

I've spent months searching for quality aftermarket control arms.. long story short they don't exist.

we are stuck with oem replacements.
