Ive been looking for bushes for a while now, you have to buy the whole arm. Lexus do them for £116.

Aaronabbot got one from this guy, Nyanza Car & Commercial Parts

Phone: 024 76663969, for £80, might be worth giving him a call.

Hope this helps.

You could try asking at your local motor factors to see if they do aftermarket ones. I had a look on the site for Japarts but they only seem to have the original Lexus part.

thats why i want to change just a couple of them. do it in stages so it keeps the costs down.

How do you know it is the bushes that are the problem though ? Genuine question by the way, I'm not saying that you're wrong and it's not the bushes. But over time shock absorbers wear out, tyres lose their grip, geometry settings can drift out and/or be knocked out through incidents, etc.

im not 100% but its the only thing i can think of. it probably is the geometry but i was going to try the bushes. i took it to tony but he couldnt help much cos i have the car too low and i dont have the upper camber adjusters

i dont think its the suspension as i have coilovers on it. and as for tyres there in pretty good nick.

[Steviewevie]

You don't have uprated ARBs, do you ? Those would make a significant difference, I think.

If your geo is out because your car is "too low", then that could make a big difference of course, as you say. Might be worth thinking about some ARBs ?

no i dont have uprated roll bars. the £300 odd price kinda puts me off. lol.

probably something il look into in the future.

cheers

I realise they're not cheap. They'd make a *huge* difference to handling though, much more than uprated bushes would (I really doubt personally you'd notice a difference there outside a race track).

How old are your coilovers ? The dampers in those can still wear out over time.
