Control Arm Bushings

[Econ]

While searching through old posts, I came across a link to a company that manufactures polyurethane upper control arm bushings for my 1991 LS 400, but I can't seem to locate that post again. I saw that a local dealership (Kuni Lexus) here in town was a distributor, but strangely the parts guy there told me that he doesn't sell any aftermarket parts from his desk. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might go to look for this type of bushing?

Also, (and apologies for the basic nature of this request, I'm fairly new to the Lexus world) does anyone have a short list of online parts distributors (OEM and/or aftermarket, whatver) they wouldn't mind posting up? I'm having a lot of problems finding reputable-looking sources for parts, and I'd like to see what kind of aftermarket performance products are available.

Thanks for your help on this, sorry to ask for so much as a newbie.

You could also add the following, all of which I've used and most have better prices than the ones already listed...don't forget, anything you buy from AutoZone comes with a lifetime warranty.

Gracias to all - sorry about the general request Slivermate, I'm not a big fan of it myself but was running ragged with clever new ways to search for "control arm bushing". You are correct - Daizen was the maker I was looking for.

I appreciate the ample and quick reply from everyone. It's nice community you have here, looking forward to talking with you all more.
