Hello CL,

Can anyone confirm if the rear knuckles for the IS250 and IS250 AWD are the same?

currently looking at replacing my rear knuckles given that I'm getting a really annoying bed squeak from the rear and since the knuckle looks to come with all the bushings I thought I might as well change the entire thing instead of pressing them out. I've seen the DIY for changing the rear axle carrier spherical bushing which could solve it but I think I'm going to replace the entire unit anyways.

Thanks

on a side note... on the very bottom of one of my knuckles it almost looks like someone cut a square chunk of metal out of it, not sure how or why, as the car has been dealer maintained all it's life before I even got it. I'll post a picture later. 99% sure it shouldn't be there but wondering if anyone could confirm

IIRC the rear knuckle and hub assembly have zero bushings. Those are all part of the multilink suspension arms from the body.

Hopefully I don't burn in hell for this but take out the spaces and use this. It is Yoda where used PN utility... we are GSE20 and GSE21 for the 350 gang.

Looking at the diagrams it seems that the knuckle would come with a bushing for the front upper, lower, and the carrier bushing.

Did a rear brake job yesterday and apart from going to the dealer to pay $50 for some slide pins and clips I took a pic of the chunk missing from my knuckle.
