2014 IS 300H F-Sport Lower Control Arm Bushing

[ZXSpectrum]

Hi all,

I recently saw that you can replace the stock Lower Control Arm Bushing for the IS with the ones stock ones from the RC-F or the GS-F as per this thread 

these are the replacement bushings i was going to order: LEXUS LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING 48075-24010 & 48076-24010, RC F / GS F GENUINE | eBay

Has anyone done this on the 2014 IS300h F-Sport? do these fit that model and what improvement did you see? 

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

I think @Mr_Groundhog has had this done and can advise.

Hey there @ZXSpectrum I love your nickname. My 1st computer was a 128kb Spectrum Sinclair with the integrated tape player in 1989...

Good memory you have @Notamech !

...Anyway yes I swapped the lower front arm bushings with those, I got them at a good price from Japan, it was an online store called Megazip.
But you can also try Yoshiparts or Amayama, which are also reliable.
I swapped them when I had bought the car only a few weeks prior so I didn't have much time to compare however my impression was the car felt good, the steering a bit more connected to the tarmac and a bit less "floaty" (but dont expect radical change)

What i can say is that the tyre wear issue isn't happening, so that's solved. I have not measured accurately but it looks and feels like they're wearing evenly. 😃

That would be a 128K ZXSpectrum+2 with the built in tape deck. I had the same one 😄

Thanks for the info on the bushings. I have ordered them from the link about and should be with me by the end of the month.

Boo! I had a C64. 😃

I ordered my bushes from that same seller. Took just over 2 weeks to arrive.

Let us know how you two get on with the new bushings and if you feel it any different!

I have just had a Fedex Shipping notification. Not bad price, £77 delivered from Japan.. 😮

Well just received them. They look nice and beefy! 😮
