Part numbers for all of GX470 bushing

[Ivan A]

Hi!
I am about to lift my GX and wanted to refresh everything. Does any have part numbers for bushings? LCA, UCA, panhart bar bushings, rear control arms etc.
Thanks!

Rather than buying new bushings for the upper control arms, I would suggest looking into aftermarket upper control arms that offer some level of caster correction. They give extra caster without adjusting the cam tabs on the lower control arms. Naturally when you raise the front suspension on the independent front suspension on the gx you cause the care to get more positive camber and reduce the amount of caster. When getting an alignment you adjust the camber bolts to get the wheels back to more or less where they should be (I think around -.5 degrees). By adding more negative camber (to get the wheels back to the original desired camber amount) it effectively reduces the amount of caster available.

Ideally, if you plan to lift the front by more than say and inch and a half or two inches, you should be looking at replacing the upper arm too.

I still have stock upper arms on my gx (but I only lifted the front about 1.2-1.5 inches) but I do plan to eventually replace my upper arms.

These are the arms that I have been eyeing for my gx when the time comes.

But the sky is the limit on what you want. Some use rubber bushings, poly bushings, delrin bushings, or spherical bearings.

For the control arm bushings, these are the links to my local dealer's catalogue on what they offer.

That is all I could find with respect to the bushings from the dealer for the control arms.

I did use these bushings on my swaybars and they bolted on perfectly with no issues.

yeah ill be getting new UCAs for sure. I wonder whats the difference between OEM and aftermarket bushes. The price for OEM is crazy.
Also any idea where I can find rear control arm bushings?

i replaced all the control arms with aftermarkets since they are adjustable, better for dialing in alignment and comes with new bushing. The only bushing I bought OEM was my front LCA and KDSS sway bar bushing.

I used whiteline bushings for my LCA'a. They articulate better than OE bushings do. Senkai 555 make excellent quality replacement ball joints and tie rod ends.

I haven't heard of many folks replacing bushings in the rear arms. I totally see the value, I just see guys installing aftermarket rear arms more than doing bushing swaps.

I was referring to the fronts. My rears are metaltech adjustable.

If they aren’t squeaking or clunking… they are probably fine. I’d save the money for other fun s***.

Toyota rubber is very high quality. Most of my s*** has 273k miles on it. No squeaks, leaks, rattles or clunks.
