Sourcing lower control arm bushing (front position)

Seems that Moog and none of the other part suppliers have a lower control arm bushing for the front position, only the rear. Yet, Toyota clearly has two different part numbers for the bushings. Any thoughts on this and where to source bushings for the lower control arm front position?

I'm not replacing the entire lower control arm because I can't afford to, its not bent, and we have really nice huge press in the shop to pop these suckers out. So, gonna stick with the original control arms.

Truck is a 2016, with 246k on it. I don't offroad. Its a work truck/daily driver, and I'm just trying to keep it reliable.

 

Holy smokes. 246k on a 2016! Good on you my friend.

 

There are definitely two different bushings, front and back. If you measure the arm, you'll see that they're two different widths.

I don't believe Toyota offers rebuilding parts (bushings or ball joints). You'll need to source aftermarket parts. Also, make sure it's for a 3rd gen, as I think the 2nd gen has a different cam bolt size.

 

Part 12 and 13?

So you want aftermarket parts? Why?

 

Wait what? Every dude bro on here who lifts their truck is doing that with aftermarket parts. What are you getting at?

 

Yes, thank you. They are definitely different, as reflected by the different part numbers, which I have. A whole new lower control arm assembly with bushings and ball joints is like $475. Since the arm is not bent or rusted out, I see no reason to replace. I have my lower ball joints and bushing for the rear position already. Just trying to find the lower front. I'm just surprised that none of the other suppliers make the part. I have no issue buying OEM, just trying to save some money where it makes sense, given the mileage (246K) of the vehicle. The price in the link you have is definitely better than what the local dealership quoted me. Thanks.

For this exact reason right here bro.

 

Well I'm glad I found your thread . I'm in the same boat my lower control arms are fine not bent or rusted out. I'm at 160,000 miles on my 2017 . I too prefer stock bushings . Any update on the project?
