Lower control arm bushings

[blue4r]

Hey folks, need a little help here. Am fixin to change out the lower control arm bushes, but am a little confused: are the front and rear ones identical? Some sites give one part number for the bushings (which leads me to believe that they are the same), while other sites list LH front & rear as well as RH front & rear. Also, can I assume the LH front is the same as the RH front, and LH rear = RH rear?

The lower control arm bushings use a different part # for front/back but it is the same part # for right/left.
Here at my workplace (Lexus/Toyota) this is what our parts EPC shows but I don't have any bushings in stock to look at so am not sure if the bushings are the same front and rear.
Normally though if the part #'s are different then the parts are different from one another too.

Thanks a bunch, I almost ordered 4 of the same part #. I got the right stuff on the way, and am gonna grease up my poly rack bushings while am down there removong the ctrl arms ....(am getting tired of doing this...)

Lower Control Arm with bushings

I ended up finding this on Rock Auto .com It's made by Dorman and was shipped to my door for 60 bucks. I found other sites that sell the bushings individually but since my control arms are rusty I just figured I'd replace the whole part. Best of Luck!

Brave souls - Might check out that LCA as an option. I bought a whole set of ES bushings from Toytec and was going to change them all out while installing the lift. Got to the point when we were trying to get the big bolts off the steering rack and also realizing that we were probably gonna break the OTRs due to rust. Then decided the bushings were fine for now. I think it would've taken the whole weekend just to do the bushings and the lift wouldn't have gotten done. A job for another day -
