Default Question with picture - seeking a bushing :-)

I have an 01 GS430 that has a worn bushing at the rear. Lexus does not make a replacement bushing - instead, one must buy an entire assembly at significant cost.

The bushing I need goes into the end of the lateral link (see the bottom of the diagram) near numbers 48730F.

I plan to try Energy Suspensions, but I don't have the specifications to give them....can anyone help me?

thanks in advance!

I had the same issue. I found replacement nylon bushings on ebaymotors.UK. I think I got both sides for around $130. They are nice because once you air hammer out the old bushing and clean out the hole, the new bushing can be hammered in using a similar diameter socket. You don't need to remove the rear knuckle to change them out. The bushings found on RHDJapan are for the inner part of the rear lower control arm, not the outter part where the camber adjustment bolt goes through the rear knuckle.

Is this bushing also referred to the rear trailer arm bushing?
