Hi all,
I have a 1999 LX470 with about 160k. Currently running on it's original AHC set up.
My rear upper control arm bushings are shot-- causing some fairly severe rear-steer/wandering in wind or on streets with even a slight crown.
I am trying to decide between 2 options:
1. Replace bushings only, using the poly replacements from Slee Offroad
or
2. Replace entire control arm (with new bushings included) from Mevotech... Aftermarket part available on rockauto.com
Since this cruiser is primarily for on-road use, the ideal solution would be brand new arms from the Lexus dealer, but I can't quite swing the $$$$.
Any thoughts or opinions on how to proceed? Since the arm itself (unless physically damaged) doesn't seem like it would be a wearable part I am leaning toward the Slee bushings.
