lexus400 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I replaced mine yesterday. Two questions: 1) Why do they want you to mark the bolt/nut, measure, take it off and then put it back on ? I just left it intact and put everything back together. Anyone else do it that way ? 2) I now have a high pitched "squeak" when I turn the wheel. I can figure out what I could have affected when swapping these out. Any ideas ? thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc211 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Strut rod cushion? I'm confused, is Lexus selling the "bushing" only now on the gen 2 strut rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus400 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 No, this is on the Gen I which I understand is totally different. Some people have called it a strut rod bushing but Lexus calls it a "cushion". Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
