Hi!
I replace bushings but they were fine, not the cause of noise. My noise came from broken axle bearing and partly also from loose rusty alignment bolt. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ment-bolt.html

Added picture of bolt that needed to replace, it had rusted.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I need to get under there and start doing some investigating to see if I can figure out the source.

Hi,

When I replaced mine I put Febest other side as I had bought only one Oem Toyota bushing. My clunk noise reappeared (although noise source was not these bushings) about 2 months, this Febest had failed. So I can't recommend it, not so much cheaper than original.
And I had to grind it's surface too to make it fit, the diameter was slightly bigger.

Febest is junk from what I've read; IMO, stay away!

I'm curious as to which FEBEST bushing was tried. There seems to be two different ones that can be used. The first one is much cheaper than the second ($11 vs $18). I'm curious if the second one is a newer style that's more reliable.

EDIT: It appears the one mentioned by rns is the second one, TAB-166Z.

My particular RX350 was an AWD. I used the OEM bushing originally indicated at the start of this thread. This bushings are 42210-20010.

Good day, I looking for the right rear lower knuckle bushing for my Lexus RX400h but my Toyota dealer says I can't buy the bushing alone I must buy the bushing and knuckle assembly together (Part # 42304-48051 ($558.60 CAD)). However, my mechanic says I should be able too buy the bushing separately. So, I guess I'm looking for a bushing for part number 42304-48051 (bushing and knuckle assembly). After reading this thread last night I'm hoping that Part # 42210-20010, identified here, will fit. Can someone please confirm that Part # 42210-20010 is the correct one. My dealer says it cost $97.17 CAD and only fits the Avalon and Celica. I would really appreciate it if someone could confirm. Thanks.
