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?

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.
