Beck Arnley comes through again. I paid $18 on Rock Auto for this pair of bushings and look what was in the box.

So got Toyota one? I'm looking to buy the bushing also, and would like to know if it's a good thing or bad thing to have Toyota bushing?

It's a good thing to have Toyota OEM
 
Cheaper than mine. I got Nolathane from Amazon for $21 but they are good
 
It was a very easy job. A ratchet wrench (12mm) is invaluable. The upper bolt is best removed with a 1/4" drive ratchet. Now if they are super corroded and you break one, it will go from super easy to throwing tools around the garage. Soaking them with penetrating oil would be a good plan.
 
What sound did you notice when they were worn? I'm getting a driver's front sound when I hit potholes at certain angles. The sound is not metal but like a thump, no sound from the passenger side.2016 lc, noticed it only after I upgraded front bumper.

I don't think you'll really hear anything unless the links are broken and the sway bar ends are flopping around unattached. So long as there is rubber in the end links (even if old and brittle), worst you'll get is groaning imo. Crawl under and make sure the ends are attached but I'd also check out ball joints/tie rods/CVs to be safe.
