Default Rear Lower Control Arm Differences

I have spent the whole afternoon and part of the evening searching this forum, Lexusownersclub, and even Googled the internet, but I can't seem to find the answer to why poly bushings for the rear Control Arms are not made for the 97+ SCs. Does anyone know the answer?

My adjustment bolts have seized to the metal sleeves in both the Control and Toe arms, so neither can be adjusted. I want to replace the bushings with poly ones, but I can't seem to find any from Energy Suspension or Prothane.

You can use the same rear control arm bushings for all years, the bushings that changed were for from 97+ rears are still the same.

Thanks for the reply. I think you said that the bushings are all the same. I took the plunge and ordered the Prothane kit. We'll see if they really do fit.
