where to buy rear lower control arm bushing

Oct 02, 2009 8 Replies

hello, My mechanic made me aware that the rear lower control arm bushings (both sides) are loose and need to be replaced. The dealer doesn't sell only the bushing, they sell the rear spindle (where wheels go) and rear lower control arm (part # 48730A). It's the arm that's horizontal from the shafts going to each rear wheel. The arm looks like a big dog bone. I can get the bushing for the one side of the arm (48725B) but the other side hooks on the spindle. That side is where the bushing is very worn out. Trying to avoid buying entire suspension piece when I just need the bushing!



Thank you,



Oskar


No luck, they only have very generic parts. Does anyone know if TMengineering has these parts? tmengineering.net

Hi Oskar

I have a similar age LS and fitted Australian made Super Pro polyurethane bushes to my rear arms 3 years ago. No problems since. Very simple job.

lower control arm is different from trailing arm. I see the trailing arm, but now lower control arm bushings for LS400! I may have to buy the suspension piece! I'll keep looking...

Hi Oskar

From your description, you're talking about the lower control arm outer bush, SPF3015. All four control arm bushes are shown on the interactive catalogue. Try following the links again.
