Changing out control arm bushing. What else should I change out?
While I was changing my breaks I noticed my control arm bushing was cracked. I figured I should pick up some Daizen bushings and tackle other things as well since I'm down there already.
Question is what other things should I change out/ maintenance while I'm changing the control arms?

Good luck picking up a set of Daizen bushings....I was unable to get a response from them through email or any vendor listed on their site.
I just picked up a set or Roca Control Arm Bushings (Upper and Lower) and Lower Ball joints from Sewell Lexus. I am installing them this weekend....I will let you know how they turn out.

The Daizen situation sucks, between all of the people ive seen post in the last week about trying to get there bushing and getting no response (myself included) there missing out on hundreds of dollars. Anyway along with the control arm #2 bushing (caster arm bushing i believe its also referred as), ball joints and steering rack bushings are pretty much it as far as common bushings to change. I could really go for them all, but instead im stuck getting oem bushings for the steering rack (instead of the Sewell poly ones because there known to be poorly molded), TRD #2 bushings for right now.

There are many feedback regarding the ROCA bushing in here and some other aftermarket bushing that should be compatible to our car

For good quality and improved durability go with the 03-05 No. 2 Lower Control Arm from Sewell Lexus, this OEM part is the one with the "TRD equivalent" bushing.
Also Changle Lower Ball Joint with 01+ GS and if you can the Tie-Rod Ends.
I've read from some of the guys going with Daizen that they regret it due to harsher ride, poor fit of the Bushing, and eventual wear from the poor fit.
