IS 250 steering lower control arm upgrade

Hello everyone.

I have just bought my Lexus 250 IS 2012 in pearl white. Love the car to bits, but I am concerned a bit by the steering. It seems to have a loose feeling especially when going over bumps or deformations in the road. I presume the lower control arm bush is worn out which affects handling as well (although car only has 56k). The bushing seems to be of a softer compound which I guess helps with comfort but not handling and road feel. 

I've done some research online and found that a lot of the guys in US and Australia have replaced theirs with GSF/RCF bushing ( material is of greater hardness). The results were very good. 

I have ordered some, part numbers are below.
48075-24010
48076-24010

I will feed back here after fitting.

Anyone had any experience with these?

Sorry for not updating sooner. After a few delays I've received the parts today, when I've placed the order they weren't in stock ( not sure how ), had to wait a bit longer but got the delivery for free. 

 

I've used megazip, they were quite cheap to be honest.

Hopefully will get to fit them in the weekend and will update soon.

Just had them fitted this morning. had a short drive to work, you notice a difference straight away. The front end feels a lot more stable, car seems to wander a lot less. Steering wheel feels good, did not notice more vibrations in the car than before. Car feels better under braking as well. I like it!

Cost was 80 to fit, but I'm sure you can find cheaper as it's an easy swap.

Will give more feedback once I get to drive the car more.
