Genuine Toyota Lower Arm Bushes

[suprapower]

After a lot of looking around i found them Genuine Toyota Lower Arm Bushes with part numbers.
I had a o/s/f/r lower arm bolt seized into so decided to remove the front subframe and overhaul it.
I started off loking at poly bushes but wasn't really happy with the things i heard about them and then came across a web site for soarer replacement bushes vfbushes and then soarerworld which lead me to a guy on there who fits lower arm bushes for he's club but he couldn't comfirm that they would fit a supra then cheaptoyota parts contacted me my offered me a front lower arm rear bush £45 but wouldn't give me the part number. I then checked on super pro web cat and the same bush that they fit to the supra also fits soarer '95 with a 2jz engine and a lexus is300? i think, so called toyota they don't list any bushes. looked on toyodiy couldn't find any numbers so looked round some more and came across japarts on ebay selling toyota lower arm bushes for a soarer
looking at the arms they look the same and seeing how super pro list the same bush to fit both they must fit right?, i then went on japarts web site http://www.japarts.co.uk/shop/index....hicle_iid=1556 and found they stock genuine toyota bushes??????? but covered up the numbers, so i got some measured and they are the same size.
My only concern about fitting these bushes is seeing how many soarers go through bushes and i don't really know how it will feel on the road. But they can only be better then replacing with poly one's.

I must also say that my car is a '95 RZ-S import so the lower arm 2nd bush is 54ish mm as there is two sizes.

front lower arm front bush 48654-24040
front lower arm rear bush 48655-24050
they are listed for the soarer

They are a bit of a pig to get out but are easy to press back in.

Will be interested to see how you get on with these. Thank for posting the part numbers, very kind of you after spending so long searching for them

[suprapower]

i'm taking the car to norfolk this week so it'll be a good test. will report back!

That is a good find.

I know the Soarer (IS300 in America) shares some parts with the MKIV Supra, and IIRC some of the arms are interchangeable. Is that price of £45 a bush roughly what a local Toyota dealer would supply those bushes for?

the £45 is what cheaptoyota parts gave me for one bush, i called toyota they said about £40 i think trade to me but japarts do them for about £25 a bush i brought a set as thats how they list them on there web site but with the the part numbers i can't see why we wouldn't be able to order them indivually.

Hope your test drive is a good one, i've recently changed mine but wasnt convinced polybushes were the way to go so splashed out on new arms.

[suprapower]

well i made it here in one piece! didn't feel no different from the original ones, handles fine, just got to make it back now and do the alignment.

[suprapower]

and made it back handling feels as it did before just like standard now just need to do the alignment to see if the results are the with spec.

Good stuff, let us know how the alignment goes.
