Wilfred Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello I need new bushings (1990 Lexus Ls400 with airbags but soon strutmasters) but a shop asked me which ones! This is what happens, go over speed bumps slowly it creaks, Full look in the car park it makes a sound, on the highway when u have long turns it wants to push wide. And caused uneven tyrewear so that i can't get a proper wheel alignment. Anyone know which bushing i would need? Any diagram on how to replace them?

UCF3 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 It sounds like your strut bushings are worn, but you mentioned that your tyres are wearing unevenly. That's a totally different thing. what were your alignment readings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfred Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 The steering wheel just points left when your going straight. So i thought its just an easy alignment job, paid $50 and the steering is point right now while its going straight. Its just annoying more than anything.

nc211 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Any vibration on highway? Wandering steering feel other than wanting to understeer? Sounds like balljoints and/or outter tie rods in conjuction to the bushings. It sounds like lower control arm bushings as well. How many miles on the car?

Wilfred Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 70000km and no vibration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAE102 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Odd as it sounds, stabiliser bar bushings were the culprit for a creaky suspension in my '93 Corolla. New stabiliser bushings sorted the problem. As for the garage you're using... If they don't know which bushings need replacing, you should consider finding another garage.

Wilfred Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Very good point i'll leave him to do it himself. I just wanted to order the parts myself before hand thats all to save time of my car at his garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
