These dimensions appear to be identical to the GS bushings. I measured the ones in my GS430 with a caliper (not micrometer), and all dimensions are within .002" of what is shown in the MountShop's drawing. So my guess is that it's the same part for both IS and GS.
I found an ebay seller who is selling these, and ordered a pair from him. Once I receive them and pull the old ones out, I will be able to hopefully confirm that it's the same part. I'll let you know what I find out.

If it is the same rear knuckle bushing for our car as for the IS, here is a site that has the bushing with harden rubber and one with pillow ball. I am seeing many other forums with this same problem, but none of them have a solution yet.

Well so far so good. I got the bushings yesterday, and they look and measure identical to the OEM ones as far as I can tell. I won't get to put them in till the weekend, but I am very optimistic. I'll keep you updated.

. Took about two hours. No more 1/8" play in that joint, I am thrilled!I'll post a DIY on it later including pictures, but the bottom line is, there IS an OEM type replacement for these bushings, it just takes tons of detective work to find it!

$130 and my labor is definitely preferred over $1400 and a shop's labor.
