It looks like they don't make it for the 2004 300 RX.

Do a where used on the OEM bushing PN and look it up for another model. On mobile or I'd do it. Chances are they exist for something and that something could mean you buy two kits to make one.

As last resort, install new oem if those are failing...

Check these:

OE-type Rubber:

Aftermarket Poly:

Unfortunately seems Toyota/Lexus don't sell the bushings separately.

This is to rebuild the rack internals, but does not include the housing bushings.

Is there an 04 300? I thought that was the first year of the 330s.

There are some listed on eBay. I've had good luck buying there - but I am very selective. As a euro car owner since the 80s, I have dealt with Febe many times. They have excellent products.

The RX300 and 330 ran concurrently depending on the market.

In North America, Australia and the Middle East, the RX330 replaced the RX300 for 2004-2006, but in other markets like Europe and Japan, Lexus continued the RX300 with the 2RX until the RX350 was introduced in 2006 for the 2007 model year.
