Car is a little over 7,000 miles so hoping that there isn't issues when it comes to installing. Probably just take it to a shop to make things easier before I mess up completely. Thanks guys! Really informative on the information!

As for my bushings, i just pulled the back of the arm down slightly and they slid off...I was surprised. I had a pry bar and hammer at the ready...didn't even pick them up.
Seems we had quite the different install experience lol. Maybe the fact that I have a 2018 and you have a 2014 also made a difference?

I have a Milwaukee Cordless Impact Gun. Didn't even use it for Air Lift Suspension installation. It's really only good as a breaker bar replacement in tight situations. I hate how it knocks on the bolt .. very easy to damage nuts/bolts. Completely over rated.

Thinking about getting one eventually down the line for bolts that are really stuck on, ran into several on various cars in tight angles where it's difficult to even use a breaker bar.

Just did it. Only took me 4 hrs haha wish I had a lift. There was a learning curve for me, had to redo a side a few times.

@Sasnuke would I be okay with the 0 offset bushings or should I get the other offset ones? My alignment sheet is attached

Based on the sheet, Toyota recommends no more than 0.5 difference (side to side) in Caster. You're at 0.4, so not quite an issue.
I would say this...if the vehicle is driving straight for you, then get the 0 offset bushings for both sides.
If you have any kind of drifting or wandering to the right, then get the 0 offset for the driver's side and the + offset for the passenger side...that should bring the Caster within 0.2 difference and clean up any drifting or wandering to the right.

Thanks! I went ahead and got the 0 offset ones.

There's no indications that the control arm bushings have changed...or will change.

Regarding the difference in torque value for the AWD/RWD, that bolt attaches the subframe (which is very different) and while the bolt is similar, it actually is a different part for AWD (90119-16022) and RWD (90119-16021).

As far as the bushings go, they're the same fitment for 2006-2020.
