Suspension Woes

[6ironls400]

Hi everybody, firstly I'd like to thank you all for the knowledge I have picked up in helping to maintain my ls400, I would like your help in locating poly bushes for a mk4, lower arm inners, and strut bars.I know this topic has been covered in the past, but as far as Im'e aware it did not include the mk4? I have done a lot of work changing worn parts for new and "Christine" is now rewarding me with that Lexus magic! Having owned her for 1 year now I feel that the end is near with the work and nearly time for paint and wheel refurb.Once again thank you all from a newbie.

I am equally interested in these parts and grateful to steve 2006 for the info. It all sounds wonderful but for the small consideration that the nearest place to buy seems to be Margate, Florida!

A very kind fellow menber of the forum sent these sites to me via a PM. I havent had time to get onto them properly but at 1st glance look useful. Ive copied and pasted from the original e-mail to sorry for the poor reproduction. Im not techy im affaid. Hope this helps 6iron.

There's http://www.priracing.com/section.php/268/1/ls400---89--94--

and for slightly less money, http://froogle.motorsportworld.co.uk/framefix.asp?PID=417649&ProductCode=SPF2249

But there's also a thread on here http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=45752 with a lot of different suppliers listed. The bushes I did were relatively easy but I see from the threads that some take more work - a lot more!

Hi guys, I would like to thank the members who replyed to my post, I have e-mailed Pri racing for confirmation as to there advert, if it proves positive I will let you all know,everybody seems to supply earlier models but must be unaware of chassis change to ucf20? does anyone out there have any proper facts as to differances between chassis types, what parts are interchangeable, if any etc.

Lexus being well known for changing 90% of things between models, I'd guess things are unique to the Ser 4.....

Hi

I have broken many of the Ls400s

Much of the front suspension is the same on the Mk3s and 4s 95 - 2000 UCF20

The lower suspension arms that are attached to the bottom ball joint and front subframe

are exactly the same for both Mk3s and 4s

Hope This helps

Hi

I found some more info to add to the PM I sent Sir John. This was the link I used to source these bushes a couple of years back. It's a good product. However, once more they only list for UCF 10 and 11.

Go to http://www.superpro.eu.com/ for the link to the interactive

catalogue.
