Control arm bushings

[stever1000]

You have the option to go aftermarket if you want. Whiteline makes poly bushings for our LCAs. Here's a link:Front Control Arm Bushings - Toyota 4Runner - W53377A

And here's a video you can use as a tutorial to do the job yourself. Happy Wrenching!

Thanks - I saw your video

Can anyone else confirm whether 4x the same part number for the upper control arm bushings? Camel Toyota and others list one part number, and same with some diagrams.

Can anyone tell me if the lower control arm bushings are identical or are they two different parts (front bushing is different than rear bushing on the front lower control arm for the SR5 model)?:hatsoff:

He's looking for Uppers not lowers Tim. The Whitelines listed are for lowers. That's what I have installed. I'm also Using SPC uppers.

If you look at the quote from the original post, RS Dude is looking for Lowers.

Call Camelback and ask to talk to Amanda. Amanda handles the online sales and she's very helpful. Just tell her you want to order these bushings from them but you've heard conflicting information that the bushings aren't all the same. She'll most likely have to ask somebody else in their parts department but she'll get a definitive answer for you. Tell her Tim Watson says Hi.

Excellent, I will definitely try that next week when I am back home from work.

I'm getting the feeling no one changes their UCA bushings unless they are changing the whole arm?

Hey [MENTION=154559]weezykid[/MENTION] you're right about the original post from RS Dude but that was back in 2011. I think he has his LCA bushings on by now. [MENTION=156591]stever1000[/MENTION] revived the post yesterday from six years ago looking for uppers. Anyway, it happens on here when folks revive old threads. I've learned to scan the OP's date of the post first. Sometimes the best thing to do is just start a new thread. Funny stuff!
