Wowwww my cars low low so I thought it was rubbing somewhere, looked everywhere, went through 2 tires has exact wear like yours. Now I know ! Good shit! 🤙
For my AWD people, it’s actually a lil easier (at least on the 2015). It doesn’t have some of those parts that are in the way of the bushing, I didn’t need a breaker bar, and there was no hidden nut to worry about. You pretty much remove 5 bolts and slide the bushing off. Thank you so much @Kenny Vo for making this video!
Hey bro. Did you need to at some point. Have the front wheels touching the ground (as not to spin) when torquing or bolting something back on? I have a ‘19 AWD IS.
@@highcard6155 Nah just jack it up like normal with the wheels off the ground, make the switch, and torque it. The wheels wont move since they're not directly connected to the bushings.
@@KennyVo No problem man couldn't have done it without you. Btw if you ever decide to change your fenders and make a tutorial for it, that would be insane. I don't think anyone has done that yet.
@@drakowithadracoInstalled my pair today, thanks to you brotha! Now, do the bushings go into full effect immediately or do you need to kind of break them in? Thanks again🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watched this upload and decided to go for the same bushings you installed. I bought them about a month ago, but finally got to work on them last night for my new tires. I would've not even known inner tire wear was an issue on IS if I hadn't watch your video. Thanks for sharing!
Great to get these swapped ..but definitely wouldn't of swapped with oem ones. Aftermarket, unless you want to change these again (at least prematurely before a good aftermarket set)
Really helpful video. I just used it to change out the bushings on my 2019 IS-300. I bought the car a month ago, and it had brand new tires which told me that this issue was probably not fixed by the 2019 models. Lexus parts guys had no clue about this and were like, "ohhhh kaaayyy, we will sell you the parts, but there's no return once you open the bag..." The hardest part for me was the passenger side, which i had to use a breaker bar on top of a pry bar to get enough leverage to get it out. In fact it was a two man job getting both of them out, but the passenger side was tough. One other little tricky part was I had to turn the wheels slightly to get the bracket to line up with the holes on the drivers side. Other than that, it was just a matter of turning some wrenches. Saved me $500 at the local alignment guy, who quoted me 3.5 hours of labor. I did it in less than 3 with multiple trips back to my office to review. Also, I love that you included the torque specs. very helpful for a detail nerd like me.
Thanks for the kind words! I am glad I could help save money, who doesn't love saving money?? No problem with the torque specs, my goal is just to help out everyone every chance I get. Thank you again.
Great video im getting mines changes soon since it destroyed the same tire as yours. I did get the RCF bushings from my local dealer and paid 260 with tax since I didnt want to gamble the delivery date but I wish I would have ordered them online and saved the money. I hope this helps the issue for the future. Again great video I will forward this to the mechanic who is changing them out and doing the tire install and alignment.
Saw this fix on the 3IS forums. Has it actually helped alleviate the premature tire wear? Just got new tires, need an alignment but am considering the RC part swap
Yeah this helps a lot. Since I’m on superdowns there is obviously still slight wear since it’s more pressure on suspension parts and driving aggressively doesn’t help it lol. But it is way better than before. Anything is better than the stock bushings from the IS
i have an RC and the rear is doing this so i had to get control arms but I'm definitely upgrading to a solid polymer LCA bushing since the stock ones are liquid filled
@@JordanWorst6 yup, I think they give +/-3° if I'm remembering correctly. They do require some grease and anti-seize that isn't included though so make sure you grab that stuff too 👍
Hey Kenny good job. I have a 2015 RWD 250. Does this same part number do the job? Which tire brand are those?Planning to get a new set of tires after the bushing installation. How are these bushings holding up now? Please share your experience so far. Thanks in advance for any input you all may have for me.
Thanks, yeah the part number is the same. My old tires were Firestone Indy500, I love them and run them on the rear. For the front I run anything symmetrical because it still wears in the same spot just not as aggressive. The bushings are fine and still holding up. There is still inner tire wear just significantly reduced. I do drive 100-120 miles a day so that also plays into the wear. If you drive a lot, stopping and going, or even drive spirited I'd recommend aftermarket like RR racing or Figs Engineering.
Hey thanks! the clunking can be a number of things like for me it was coming from my rears after lowering on superdowns and it was just my exhaust. If its from the front it can be as simple as spring not seated correctly, or bolts/nuts not torqued. One member on club lexus had the issue and heard clunking going over speed bumps, and coming to a stop. One of the members said that if it was clunking/creaking near the bushings then that would be caused by the strut being blown. Id check to see if any fluids are leaking from the strut and tighten everything down once more and don't forget to check the top hat nuts also. Good luck!
I am having inner tire wear on the rear tires of my 2015 IS250 F sport. Will this upgrade effect/fix this? I find it hard to believe that a front bushing change will effect rear tire wear, but wanted to ask if you had any knowledge. Thanks!
The bushings only correct the front tires. The rear tires can be corrected with toe arms or even inflating your tires a little more so that it will wear out towards the center of the tire rather then the inner side, mine have been on 38psi and 40-42 psi when warm (driving) and it is wearing evenly. without toe arms.
@@KennyVo ok nice. How that subwoofer working out ? Is it still in your car? Is dimming your lights ? Are you hungry for more bass? Or is that just enough?
Great video!!! New subscriber. Why did you go with OEM instead of say FIGS or another aftermarket bushing? How are they holding up? Did it resolve your tire wear issue?
Thanks and welcome! It was mainly budget and experiment for myself. A lot of people in the Facebook groups recommended this so I gave it a shot. It is holding up well, there is still wear but it is not as fast/often as the OEM bushings. The FIGS and RR Racing have steering response and I've seen mixed reviews on them with people taking them off because they didn't like the steering feel.
They feel nice when braking, previously the nose would dive in but now it feels more planted stopping. Steering is just a tad stiffer not drastic but only time will tell with the tire wear.
Wait, if your tires are consumed in the inner side there are two consequences ; TOW OUT and excessive CAMBER. plus you will notive a excessive TOW OUT because front becomes very unstable. I'm sure you lowered your car to much and didn't udjust the CAMBER. did you also put spacers? Also those if Camber and Tow in are not udjusted well can cause tyre wear.
Correct I mentioned that in the comments and description of the video after realizing what I said. Its natural camber from lowering yes and I like it. There was 20mm spacers on this set up. Also it only toes out when braking and accelerating its not toing out the whole time or else I would've been going through tires monthly
If you are consuming your tires that way, it means you are only usinf 50% of what that tire can give in your driving style. But if you go for looks more than effectiveness, then that is another story, just watch out on wet and snowy surfaces. PS: Instead of spacers, go for ET offset + Rim canal width, also bearing will thank you, Leave the spacers to the drifters!! :))) Forgot to say, spacers make your suspensions softer. ;)
Do u think it's a problem if the people who installed mine used an impact for every bolt/nut? Unfortunately I only found out about torque specs after install and wheel alignment :*(
Are you happy with these rcf bushings or wish you would've went for say Figs 80 durometer poly street bushings? (which are supposed to have no squeaks vs RR 95 bushings).
Yeah if not they would’ve only sold 1. I’m sure that the curved edge helps it seat properly because the bushing in the bracket moves when you apply loads (braking, accelerating, steering).
I looked it up on clublexus forums and it says they do fit. It’s up to you if you want to upgrade them or not, I got by the rule of if it’s not broke don’t fix it lol. Maybe it already has upgraded ones 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly I just used some grease I had for my bikes when I built them...I would recommend grease by Lucas Oil since it's made for automobiles. www.lowes.com/pd/Lucas-Oil-Products-8-oz-White-Lithium-Grease/50353744?cm_mmc=shp
Hey man I bought the parts but just realized they gave me the part ending with 76 two of them I’m getting it installed by Canadian tire but they said it looks exactly the same . By the time you see this it’s already on do you think it will have any effect
Yeah they are very identical, only thing is that the center hold where the rubber bushing is has a flat side on one and fillet on the other. I doubt it will make a difference though.
Yes you do, at least for the main bolt that goes through the bushing itself. Its not just so much about preload so much as torquing the bushings where they will naturally want to be at normal ride height. If you torque up the bushings with the suspension completely sagged it will put extra stress on the bushings and will cause them to fail sooner.
The lexus website says this wont fit my 2014 rwd. im assuming they fit because its the same hardware down there but do you know if these fit even tho my car is a 2014?
yes itll fit its the same chassis as my 16 200t. The part says it wont fit because its specifically made for the RCF/GSF, but it is completely interchangeable.
It doesn't really matter on what kind. It is necessary since it is metal on metal, others have done this upgrade without the grease and heard squeaking/clunking from the metal on metal contact. It is just preventative corrosion.
Quick question on your suspension bro, put on rsr super downs on my 17 is 200t literally yesterday, and I wanted to know if there was any issues as far as like struts or any other parts that go bad caused from the springs, just as a precaution I guess. Tryna be safe than sorry lol
what's up! yeah struts do go bad because of springs but so far I haven't had any issues on mine and had them for over 50k miles daily driving on them. I did research on our struts before getting springs and haven't heard of any blown struts, i know it is common on other cars.
@@jasonsanchez638 no worries, that's all i have suspension wise. For handling I picked up a Blitz strut bar but you can use any strut bar to stiffen the body.
It is a harder compound rubber so it feel stiffer/planted when cornering. For track use they do have aftermarket options from Figgs Engineering and RR Racing.
It is still present but yes a lot less wear. I assume it is still present due to my car being lowered and spirited driving habits, but I have changed my tires less since!
it reduced the inner tire wear by a lot. I'm a pretty aggressive driver..sometimes (accelerate hard, brake hard) and that's what causes the inner tire wear. And yes it fits any 2014+ Lexus IS
@@KennyVo should have done it on all my projects. Helps big time to aviod errors.... can't count how times ive done things on my cars in the past were a quick video would have saved me parts,money and time.lol 🤙
I've had my 2017 is300 for 4 years now, and I went through 4 sets of tires, mind u I've had them on all year round. Been looking for the part numbers. Thanks
I know man it sucks, Idk how many ive gone through but it was rough first two years for me with the combination of inner tire wear and my tires being a nail magnet. Also no problem on the part numbers!
Ride quality is still good very similar to stock! Inner tire wear is significantly less, I have a heavy foot so its bound to happen but noticeably less tire wear up front.
@@KennyVo Thanks for the reply my man. I changed all 4 discs, pads and slider pins. Blead brakes through. Drop links (anti roll) were shot. Also the left front wheel bearing was knocking but not grinding. Steering colum down shaft UJ was loose on the spline under dash! That made wobble alright! Went for wheel alignment and it now test drives 95% better but I can still feel it isn't 100% all the bushes look ok but I have strong suspicion I have play on an arm giving me this feeling. I just haven't pry barred them all yet. I have no knocks or clunks but definitely some suspension steering play somewhere. Also new tyres all round!
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 huh didn’t know it would be that bad, I would’ve guessed warped rotors, balance wheels, alignment. Glad you got most of it handled!

It is still present but yes a lot less wear. I assume it is still present due to my car being lowered and spirited driving habits, but I have changed my tires less since!
@@KennyVo how often do you change your tires?
Did this fix the problem? I need these for my wife’s car. Lexus IS300 fits, right?
it reduced the inner tire wear by a lot. I'm a pretty aggressive driver..sometimes (accelerate hard, brake hard) and that's what causes the inner tire wear. And yes it fits any 2014+ Lexus IS
I tried looking that part number however it says it doesn’t fit my 2017 is350 RWD. But found these instead, part #4807530040 & #4807630030.
of course. it is made for the GSF RCF. It will fit
Nice video... next on my list🤙
Much needed for the platform and great to DIY!
@@KennyVo should have done it on all my projects. Helps big time to aviod errors.... can't count how times ive done things on my cars in the past were a quick video would have saved me parts,money and time.lol 🤙
I've had my 2017 is300 for 4 years now, and I went through 4 sets of tires, mind u I've had them on all year round. Been looking for the part numbers. Thanks
I know man it sucks, Idk how many ive gone through but it was rough first two years for me with the combination of inner tire wear and my tires being a nail magnet. Also no problem on the part numbers!
Where did you manage to find the torque diagrams?
Found them on ClubLexus forums

Does it matter what year RCF/GSF bushing i get? i have a 2016 AWD IS 350
No they should be the same
Got the megan racing ones for the isf hopefully no more inner tire wear
🤞🏼🤞🏼
Are you running spacers and springs or coils?
This set up i was on 20mm spacer all around and RSR superdown springs
Any updates on ride quality since first installed?
Ride quality is still good very similar to stock! Inner tire wear is significantly less, I have a heavy foot so its bound to happen but noticeably less tire wear up front.
So is it help when we change the bushing?
Indeed. It decreases/minimalizes inner tire wear that is common on this platform. There's a lot of info on clublexus.
Do you have torque specs for all the nuts ? Is there a diagram at all
Idk if this is a joke lol but its on there @8:10
Lmfao sorry i didnt watch the entire video
Did that cause vibration at high speeds?
not at alllllll!
What are you lowered on?
RSR Superdowns
Hey there,great video!!!Do you think these would fit 2014 is 350 f sport?
They do fit
@@KennyVo thank you for replay
How is the tire wear after a couple years?
significantly less, still present due to me being lowered and having "natural camber"
What grease you use
Just used some grease from when I worked on bicycles amzn.to/3G5mbyZ , you can use any gear grease or auto parts store grease works just fine
Do u think it would fit a 2009 Lexus is 350 RWD
it does
Will this work on my IS 300 F-Sport ?
it will
Did you have wheel wobble from braking because of this
Did not, it felt as if I had zero problems under there
@@KennyVo Thanks for the reply my man. I changed all 4 discs, pads and slider pins. Blead brakes through. Drop links (anti roll) were shot. Also the left front wheel bearing was knocking but not grinding. Steering colum down shaft UJ was loose on the spline under dash! That made wobble alright! Went for wheel alignment and it now test drives 95% better but I can still feel it isn't 100% all the bushes look ok but I have strong suspicion I have play on an arm giving me this feeling. I just haven't pry barred them all yet. I have no knocks or clunks but definitely some suspension steering play somewhere. Also new tyres all round!
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 huh didn’t know it would be that bad, I would’ve guessed warped rotors, balance wheels, alignment. Glad you got most of it handled!
Nice video! How did you find those torque spec diagrams?
thanks man, i sourced them through clublexus forum provided by another member
Will this fit my Lexus 2is? 2010
Yes it will.
Nice thanks for the help mines are dog shit to point of vibration
No problem! dang hopefully this fixes the vibration
How much?
The part ranges from $100-$150
Time for a new intro 🤔
Ohhh worrrd, new year new me
Make that bushing noise
wot
Did you reuse the previous bolts?
yes i did
what tint percent do u have?
My car was tinted already when I bought it, Its 35% - 40% not much. I would prefer it to be darker.
How are these bushings holding up now? Will these fit for an awd 07 gs 350? Will I need an alignment after installing?
Theyre still doing fine! I am not exactly sure if they will fit, I couldn't find anything about it for your car. You will need an alignment after installation
@@KennyVo That’s awesome. I’m about to install some I bought from Raymond (raysrcf) since he bought some figs for his RCF. I appreciate your install video :)
Is it the same for awd and rwd?
Yes same thing, other AWD owners done this to theirs and shared on Club Lexus
