94 Ls400 Rear Carriage Bushings

[texas50]

If anyone interested in changing rear bushings it's about 1 1/2 hr job.

I did it just now in my garage. Purchased the bushings from "ALL TOYO LEX AUTO"

ph # 1-877-778-6968 (cost $50 x 2 = $100 + $7.50 shiping).

Tools I used : PITMAN ARM PULLER # 27016 AND BUSHING DRIVER SET # 27137

RENTED FROM AUTO ZONE.

After taking the bolt off from the rear carriage I used the ARM PULLER and the 1 3/16 x 1 5/16 from the bushing driver set to press out the metal sleeve of the old bushing. After you do this the instalation of the new bushing it's very easy.

Good Luck to every one. BTW I just did a test drive and the car drives like new again :D

I still need to fix the cluster (instrument panel does not lit up specially in cold weather).

Hi,

Thanks for the posting. Could you help with the following:

1. Pictures if possible

2. Would you say ' A person who can change brakes pads can do this' ?

Sorry, I didn't take picture but yes if you could change brakes you can do this by yourself and save some big $$$. Dealer don't sell just the bushings they will sell the carriage with the bushings and I think it's about $300 a pice.

1. I was too dirty to take picture but you can call me if you need advice. Pm me and I will give you my phone number.

Texas50,

Were those bushings that you purchased new? Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like "ALL TOYO LEX AUTO" is a Salvage Yard.

Would you mind posting the part-numbers for the bushings? I want to make sure I order the right ones. Thanks!

Tex50-when you post the part #'s; advise how the car drove before the change and any sounds you heard, etc.:

sometimes the suspension things are hard to figure out---like: "where is that 'pop' at", is it a bushing, bearing, strut, brake; left or right, etcetcetc. tks---
