front lower control arms, whats the difference
It looks like i need new lower control arms for the front of my 2002 GS430. Sewell has them for $194 each and RockAuto has them for anywhere from $90 to $130. Whats the difference between the Lexus OEM and the Rockauto parts? Does anyone know? Is it worth the extra money to buy from Sewell. ($194 is the CL discount price)
Thanks
Michael

I need a lower control arm for my drivers side, the bushing is cracked and ripped really bad, is it safe to drive like this for about a month til my funds are right to get it fixed? It was just noticed about 3 months ago, i shouldve got it done sooner, but hey bills dont stop flowing in....

That's not the right price bro. I paid $114 each for '03-05 lower control arm w/ oem castor bushing from Sewell. Try to login 1st, then add to cart. See if that works becuz the same thing happend to me at first. I thot I was gonna pay $190 after taxes for just one! You should get the discount.

Pina - I think you are referring to the caster arm/tension rod #2. OP is referring to the actual control arm. I have bushings for those that have been sitting around ever since I made the switch to the Roca bushings for the caster arm.

You can get the Roca lower control arms and caster bushings for both sides for about $120 or so online. That's 4 replacement bushings. Add in the shop cost to replace the bushings and you should still come in a bit cheaper with installation labor vs buying 4 new oem ones without labor.

is there a big difference between the bushings in the lexus vs the moog arms?
i still hear more noise than i think i should when driving and i already replaced the castor arm.
