Let me know if I'm wrong.
The "48620-59055 / 48640-59045" for 2013-2017 model (newer version)
The "48620-59035 & 48640-59035" for 2007-2010 model (newer version)

I attach the list parts from Longo Lexus

You are correct Lukas.
I just cross referenced 48620-59055 / 48640-59045 with MYLparts, LexusPartsHub and LexusPartsNow.
According to these sites the "48620-59055 / 48640-59045" are for 2013-2017. Apparently not compatible with my 08.
Surprisingly, when I plug in 48620-59035 I get this
Lexus Part No.: 48620-59035
ARM SET,SUSPENSION LOWER RH Part DescriptionARM SET,SUSP LWR RHReplaced By48620-59055
and this
Lexus Part No.: 48640-59035
ARM SET,SUSPENSION LOWER LHPart DescriptionARM SET,SUSP LWR LHReplaced By48640-59045
Also saw these from LexusPartsHub, Keyes Lexus Parts and MYLParts

• Part Number:48640-59045
• Part:Lower Control Arm
• Replaces:48640-59035
• Part Number:48620-59055
• Part:Lower Control Arm
• Replaces:48620-59035

Well, hopefully they are compatible with my 08 otherwise I'm screwed. Will ask my SA about this when I go in for my next service.

I am also looking forward to replace the LCA . Which should i choose ?

there are places here in ukraine that can refurbish almost anything... I they called something a "ball finger" lol I assume the ball joint is what they are talking about but I could be wrong... I wonder what is involved in refurbing those

lukas6561

Logically, the "48620-59055 / 48640-59045" should be compatible with 2007-2012 model. Anyway, check with or ask your SA to be sure.

lukas6561

Definitely, DON'T go with "48620-59015 & 48640-59015" (OLDER VERSION). Some dealers still give you the older version until you ask.

If you can buy during 10% Ebay bug or 10% off promotion, you will save more money. Some sellers (not all of them) will lower the price too if you contact and ask them.

Any updates on the new lower control arms if they fit in 07 to 09 ?

@ ALK
My Dealer used "48620-59055 / 48640-59045" back in June 2015
Talked to my SA back in Nov when I dropped in my car for a warranty service (radio button back light issue) and he said their shop (dealer) used the newest (updated) parts available back then. Not sure if there's a revision. So far no problem.

Guys my 07 LS460 was having suspension issues and could hear clicking while backing out of the driveway, took it to Longo Toyota here in Prosper, Texas and was told nothing is wrong, everything looks good and this after waiting 45 minutes, the tech had a puzzled look why I thought it may need shocks or something, I could also hear loose noise when going over bumps, so was puzzled, however not convinced, anyway purchased some tires when the Discount tire told me I probably should get my suspension checked as tires wearing certain way shows issues, i got new tires, went to Firestone for a alignment, was told all 8 control arms needed changed and they would not be able to align till then and presented me with a $5500 estimate, shocked, I left.... did some poking around, and found an entire aftermarket set of upper lower control arms at 1Aauto for around $350, my friend is a amateur mechanic and came over to help replace them, but while removing and replacing, he noticed the lower ball joint thats on the knuckle should be replaced as well, thats when i realized how difficult it was to find these, called Sewell Lexus and was quoted about $850 for both sides, they dont sell just the part but the entire knuckle... so my question, where should I have got these? 1A did not have them, i found some on ebay, and ordered them, but while Im waiting with my car all laid open in my garage with its butt sticking out the garage door for the next 3 days, is there a good source for aftermarket Lexus parts, sorry if this has been answered, I did search but kept turning up random pages on this forum... TIA

I also have a Longo Lexus along with Longo Toyota here in El Monte, CA. Longo Toyota claims they are the biggest Toyota dealer in the nation.

I ordered these items:

front shocks $81 total, after tax for me is about $95.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shocks-Set-...72.m2749.l2649

the front 2 ball joints
https://www.ebay.com/itm/222708860564 $39.95/ea
or you can get them directly from Febest website. The price was the same for me.

8 front control arms
https://www.ebay.com/itm/122874323345
$320. I wouldn't trust Ebay seller lifetime warranty. I could not get the seller to reply me.

I have NOT installed controls arms and ball joints because I found out the only thing I needed to change was the shocks. The previous owners had changed out the arms.

Thanks, i tried Autozone, Oreilly, and a couple other parts store, they either had the wrong part or not at all, i did not try Amazon, im wary of ebay, but really desperate.

dallas7500

ok thanks, i'll give them a call as I need few other parts, as well.

dallas7500
