98 GS300 bushings...

Sep 16, 2005 3 Replies

Lexus dealer replaced my front brake pads and remarked that the front rocker arm bushings were completely worn down. I have not noticed any symptoms of this. In fact, last year we were advised that our 95 Accord LX had the same problem. We have done nothing with it and have had no symptoms or problems. I am beginning to wonder if this is a scam among car dealers/service facilities.



Anyone had a similar scenario?

Are you sure the dealer is not talking about control arm bushings? The rocker arms are under the valve cover and are not visible unless the valve covers are removed.

Worn control arm bushings can cause squeak or rattle noises and could cause front alignment problems.

I meant control arms--sorry.
