99 GS300 rear suspen making sounds.
My suspen was making sounds so i tought the struts where gone, so i change to coils, and now same problem, but is only from the rear right side.
is it because i need a camber kit?

A few board members are looking for solutions, but right now the only proven option is to replace the entire spindle because of course Lexus doesn't not sell just the bushing! If the spindle is removed the wheel bearings have to be replaced also, so it becomes a $600 per side fix. My car is starting to agrivate me because of this. Little bushings like this and the caster arms end up costing hundreds to thousands of dollars to replace with oem parts.

The bushing is hard to replace because it's not just rubber. It has a metal pillow bushing that was evidently used because the cars had 4 wheel steering in Japan. So far no one has created a cost effective replacement that can be installed without removing the spindle (to use a press) to avoid having to replace perfectly good wheel bearings.
