I have recently had my suspension tested due to a little tyre wear on the inside of the fronts. Here's the evaluation from the shop:

- Lower Control arm & inner bushes need replacing
- Radius Rod & Bushes (strut bar??) need replacing
- X Member mounts have excessive movement & need replacing
- Diff mount bushes need replacing

I have replaced the Upper control arm bushes with Vlamos a few years ago & they have been great. I don't think Vlamos did the lower ones for Celsior, however his site is now down, so i cant check...has he disappeared?

I'm worried that I will end up in the "nasty hard bushes replacement realm".

So here's my questions:
- Has anyone replaced their lower control arm bushes with ones that they would recommend?
- any recommendations on the radius rod & mounts, X member mount & diff mount bushes??

Aaron, did you recently do these in would maintenance?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the same boat, I have alot of worn bushing. Mainly at the rear end, can't really find replacement bushings for them. Scared to see how much Lexus want.
