Here is what I have so far. There are so many threads and conflicting threads on front suspension that after a couple of hours of reading and adding items to buy, I want to verify.

'01 GS430 with 230k on it so odds are most of this stuff is due or should be done preventatively. Random parts like UCAs, etc have been done in the past but I don't think they used quality parts.

Moog LBJs
Moog Outer tie rod ends
Moog inner tie rods ends
Moogs UCAs

Items I'm thinking I should also get are:

Sway bar bushings
Steering rack bushings.
Either caster arms or caster arm bushings only (#PSB 537)

Some threads that are stickied are critical of Daizen bushings, is there another brand that's better? Sounds like OEM bushings aren't that great for a lowered car.

I have an LS400 brake kit so I'll be putting those one as well as new coilovers and RCAs.


Have I missed anything that should be done? Thank you!

you could check out FIGS website also.. he also offers every single bushing in poly if you decide to go that route.

Poly would be my preference assuming it's not too rough. I have other cars meant for corners so my GS doesn't need to be on rails. I would like poly just because they hold up. I'll check out Figs, thank you.

poly isnt so rough that it makes a huge difference. everything feels tigher and more precise.

but im on stock springs and lowered on rca's. thats it. so thats my point of view
