Nice video. I got to replacing my old cracked, worn out bushings last year. Before my ride quality and handling really sucked. I got turned on to putting the rc f lower control arm bushings on my ls430. Man these bushings changed my life. Handling is 10x better now with more connected to the road feeling.
wow this looks way easier than i thought. hopefully i can have mine driving as good as it looks. black on black 125k miles. such a classy old car. i don't want to ever get rid of it. bit excessive for just me but i love it.
The bushings should be torqued to spec while there is a load. With the car on jack stands, use a floor jack under the control arm to jack it up to simulate load and then torque the bolts to spec.
I did the same (is350 bushings) and feel like they went to crap after about 2-3 years. I bought OEM bushings from eBay but I’m suspecting I actually bought counterfeit units.
@@randygonzalez5758I bought some cheap ones from ebay for them to take a crap on me within a yr and half. Bought the original one to replace the aftermarket cheap ones.
@@theantgarage I looked Lexus shop manual and the inner bolt torque spec was 64 ft.lbs. Which one is right? I guess 44 ft.lbs could be right for aluminium bracket and maybe 64 ft.lbs is for steel bracket?
hi my lexus having a rough ride front bounces up and down after hit a bump steering wheel shakes when braking and it sounds like my rear passenger side has a squeak to it. Could you possible know what’s the fix to my problem.

You don't post anymore? I liked watching your videos especially on the LS430
What are the symptoms for needing to do this? My 2001 ls430 creaks a lot when coming to a abrupt stop.
Did you ever figure it out?
Are you suppose to torque the bushing when the wheels are on the ground?

@@wbcosca how do you know how much to Jack up?
How is the aftermarket bushing holding up after several months? I went with the IS350 bushings and I feel like they are already failing.
Still going, there is not much to them since it's just a normal rubber bushing.
Did u use the oem is350 ones made by toyota or an aftermarket set?

Hi,
Why was the torque specs on bushing?
The Torque specs are in the description.

It’d be cool if you had all the bolt sizes posted. I didn’t realize I’d need a 22. I had to go buy one. Largest I had was a 18.
he says 22 in the video a few times...
@@FunBitesTVlike a lot of times lol
Is this effect the rid quality?
Yes,
How do you know those bushings needed changing instead of the whole arm?
You never need to replace the arm... It's just faster and easier to replace the arm... Unless you wrecked it...
Where did you order the bushing from?
ebay
Could you do this with the car on ramps? Or just jack and jack stands
I don't think so, because you need to remove the wheel well liner.
@@theantgarage so no to Ramps or no to jack stands

Could be bent wheel (rim) or rotate your rotors
And alignment
front struts for bouncing up and down... rotors on dirty hub, possibly new rotors and/or wheel bearing for the shake when braking
