Lexus LS430 Steering Rack Bushes

[cruisermark]

The car came back with an advisory - slight play in steering rack bushes - I think this might be why I'm getting roadfeel through the steering with the steering tending to move on uneven road surfaces.

Does anybody know what the part number(s) are for the steering rack mounting bushes and/or if there is a compatible toyota number?

The only option I have at the moment is TM Engineering is USA

thanks alot

Hi Mark 

There is a site  online "Febest Autoparts" that quotes that part as  TGB-JZS160 to fit Toyota and others it is listed as a fit for all the 430s

Comes in at 12 euros and free shipping within Europe and the UK.

Apparently the bushes alone are not available from Lexus/Toyota.....you have to buy the complete rack!......what a racket!

Hi Steve - You are correct to come extent - during my research I came across posts from this forum where members were told to buy a new rack costing £1900??

One member did manage to buy them seperatley from Lexus sheffield.

I hope I can source a decent aftermarket set.
