Just received my front suspension refresh from Amayama, first time ordering from them and very satisfied so far.

 

Ooh, all wheel drive OEM parts. They won’t fit your RWD. Send them to me please

 

Did you get toe adjusters? If the car was driven in NJ, you will most likely need to cut those out.

I ordered the pricey stuff from Amayama, I am not planning to do this all quite yet, my front end has been alright for now, but I want to replace all of these components this year, probably end of the summer when I replace the tires. I will pick up the miscellaneous bits before I tackle this. Anything in the car up front still good I will press new bushings into and keep around. I just wanted to have these parts on hand at a better price than what I can get were I to order them last minute, and I wanted OEM reliability so it's not a headache to expect for another 1xx,xxx miles (126k on it now). Plan on keeping this car as long as I can, nothing new impressed me enough and I'm afraid if I trade it in I'll never be as happy as I am driving this one.

 

Does he have AWD? If not you are correct. The lower rear arms and the knuckle ball joint parts are a no go. Hopefully your joking.

 

Oh it's AWD alright, I think he was trying a jedi mind trick, these are not the droids your looking for.

 

I could not imagine anyone on this site making that kind of mistake, especially when ordering from overseas.

 

I put new wheels on the car, got an oil change and an alignment- had the mechanic check all of the front end components and they all checked out fine for now "they're not new, but they are all good" - as per the mechanic. I'm satisfied I have the full set in my garage just in case, but good to know my original front end bushings are still alright after 125,000 miles driving through NY and NJ. After putt-putting around in my 03 camry for a week it reminded me how much I love the LS460.

 

Finally had the control arms and ball joints replaced along with engine mounts at 145,000 miles (2013). Also had the alternator, tensioner and idler pulleys replaced (since they were in there anyway). Along with 3 of the 5 tpms sensors. Alignment after the front end work. Came out to $1400- parts were mine. The TPMS sensors were separate work. My god, the car drives amazing. I could have kept driving on them for a bit but I am very glad I finally replaced them. The engine vibrations are completely gone, you can't tell it's running. Bumps are non-existent now, it just floats down the road.
