You can get the bolt only at toyota/lexus. The bushing on the other hand is a little more complicated. You need to either get new lower control arms from lexus or toyota (supra tt work and are cheaper) or you can buy aftermarket bushings and remove the old and replace. Good luck

YES. I had the same problem. They are like $20 each at the Lexus dealer and ONLY at the dealer. I have part # at home and can look it up but just to be clear you are referring to the camber bolt?

I guess I am missing something...If u have new bushing what do you need a sleeve for? I bought new control arms which had the bushings and to be honest dont remember what they looked like but I am not sure there is a sleeve that goes in there that shouldnt already be part of the bushing.

If he bought Daizen, then there are two kits. One with new sleeves etc, and one that is simply the bushing that requires you to re-use your old hardware.

If your not worried about destroying the old bushung, use lots of heat (torch) and a bfh (hammer) to get the bolt out. You'll still need a new bolt but you may be able to save the sleeve.

I have the same problem, found out when I was doing my alinment. The bushing will twist when trying to adjust camber / caster. Leaving it alone for now, my alignment isn't too far off.

I have seen the bolts listed on ebay, dont forget to look for supra parts also. This was after it cost me about $100 for 4 new ones from Lexus.

Just need verification that if I purchase a Toyota Supra NA or TT camber adjusting bolt, that it will be the same (identical as) the sc300 bolt as to mine was seized when trying to remove the bolt from the cross member and LCA. Thanks for any expertise.
