RX 450H Gen 3 Wishbones

[RonsonSJohnson]

Morning From a wet Dublin,

My last service with Lexus they had a yellow advisory for the Wishbone bushes on my 2012  rx450h.

Has anyone replaced the bushes alone or is a full arms that have to be replaced ?

What brands are oem for lexus, i am a BMW / VW lifer and not sure for toyota / lexus.

 

thanks for help

Lexus TSB for the RX400h says that cracking of the rubber is acceptable to a certain degree and replacement is only required when metal/rubber separation has occurred.

I bought a pair of replacement arms from Febi for my RX400h for future fitting.

thank you for that, it seems its an amber advisory, so not critical yet, i better start sourcing parts.

Deffo keep an eye on them. Lexus on the 450h don't just replace the rubber...they do the whole part at considerable expense. Check the following out when it happened to me:
