irl_car_parts is the ebay name of the fellow from Ireland that sells the carrier bushings. As of 4/10/13, he has 32 in stock.

I expect that it will take me a couple weeks to find time to install these but I will report my impressions here.

And acnup00tl, you may want to spend some more time reading through this thread (and other suspension threads) before spending any money. Your description is a bit vague and there's quite a few things that could cause clunking back there (i.e. diff bushings, trac-link bushings, broken shock mount, etc).

 

I listened to the clip of the noise you guys hear , and that's definitely not my problem This is a Loud Clunking sound , When I back up down the driveway it makes the noise and when I go up the driveway it makes the noise. Sounds like a monkey wrench hitting metal going up and down in the trunk.

 

What about sellers valeria1175 or akautosltduk. They are from the uk but i found them on the us ebay. Prices are already converted and i believe they are the right parts.

 

i used irl_car_parts just like everyone else did but i sold mine and bought the FIGS one for a few reasons. main one is i like supporting our vendors, mike has always treated me right (even though im sure im worry some and a little annoying to deal with), i like his parts and trust him and two cause his inside bearing can always be replaced if needed much easier than having to push the whole bushing out again if it goes out or binds or whatever plus i prefer the spherical ends on things as they allow more travel in/around the corners which is where i always prefer (i need to hit the Dragon before i sell her)

yeah i didnt think you had this, from the rear? shocks/coils good? check swaybar also

never heard of them, you can always guinea pig them though and let us know

link?

Brian, how much are the figs one? Are they in stock

 

Interesting... The two sources in the UK are about half of what I paid for mine from Ireland (irl_car_parts). They look different so it looks like they are coming from different manufacturers.

irl_car_parts sources his from Dubai.

I'm surprised to see the vendors in the UK selling them for so much less than Ireland.

 

dunno, have to ask mike, i bought mine so long ago i dont recall. still waiting to hear something back from you from the last PM BTW

 

just placed an order with one of the uk sellers. Ill let everyone know the details once I get them and a follow up once I install them.

 

i hope it was this one

i would have left the other one alone

 

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

I just added 5 more sets to stock. We qualified FK bearing as an alternate supplier and they had stock. http://shopfigs.com/v1/LEXUS%20bushi...bearing%20rear

 

Mike,

Picture shows one bearing
QTY shows 1
Description states: Set includes 2-Bearings in bearing cups with retainer clips

Am I correct to assume that for $165 you get two bearings?

 

yes, 1 order = 1 set. I guess I need to take some pics with 2 bearings.

 

Just in case anyone wanted to know. I have had my figs bushings for around 10k miles. One trip was a 6 hour adventure to lovely New Jersey roads, ha. I love em and can't complain. I also have decent camber and wheels that are too damn wide

 

Those are the ones I ordered. They came in, in a reasonable amount of time. Did the install this past weekend. My old ones seemed solid...until I took the rubber boots off. As soon as the boots came off they were very loose and had way more play than the new ones. Everything went pretty smooth and so far so good.
