Default 2010 LS AWD SWB: Dealer 75k service, need all new upper arms

Hello everyone!

I need some guidance on replacement parts for my upper control arms. I have a 2010 AWD SWB and the dealer is quoting an insane amount to replace the 4 upper control arms. Below is the list I was given by the dealer. I had no trouble finding the part # ending in "59125", but could not find the other. Can someone confirm is there was an alternate number, or provide a link to what I need? The dealer stated they are basically 4 uppers only.

48610-59125 ARM ASSY, SUSP 1
48610-59145 ARM ASSY, SUSP 1
48630-59125 ARM ASSY, SUSP 1
48630-59145 ARM ASSY, SUSP 1

Edit:

I did find these on partsgeek:[img]

I found this, is this what you are looking for? If it is look around and see if you can get it cheaper, unfortunately with a AWD LS460 there is not much if any aftermarket support for the control arms like there is for the RWD and you will have to go with more expensive OEM Lexus/Toyota parts(still cheaper sourced from the internet then dealer but not as cheap as aftermarket) but maybe that has changed recently. See about a independent or DIY to save money over using the dealership.

I don't know if these aftermarkets will work or if it is exactly the one you need, I would call first, says it is for awd 2010 LS460 on the site.

https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20...ntrol_arm.html

It is MAS Part Number: 95995-07944516
95995-07987818
GENUINE has a few too for awd, they are a little pricey but lower then OEM Lexus

It can't link specific ones unfortunately on that site.

Thanks UDel! I'll do some research, and in the meantime did find cheaper alternatives (screenshot below) , am hoping for feedback on Mevotech, if it's worth the price hike to go for Beck Arnley instead

On the AWD models you're better off just pressing in new bushings than replacing the entire arms. Nothing wrong with the arms themselves, it's just that Lexus isn't going to take the time to replace bushings when they can sell you a whole new arm and keep their techs free for other more involved services.

This is how my independent Lexus mechanic approaches this repair...

I also had the same control arm issues with my 2010, got some aftermarket parts and solved it for just over $1k (including parts and labor), check this out

That linked thread above is for a RWD LS460. Control arms referenced there will not work on your car.
