Hi everybody,
I'm after some advice, my much cherished 2002 is200 sport failed the MOT today on o/s/r and n/s/r suspension bushes.
I have been told that the bushes are not available and that its a Lexus only part which means buying the full rear hub for both sides £300 + around £500 for labour!!! I have read on some posts that its possible to use the bushes off a Vectra but they need altering. Please could somebody tell me which bushes they are and what the process is for doing the job as I splashed out on 4 new tyre for the MOT thinking the bushes would be an easy job and now I've hit a wall. Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.

Lexus Birmingham gave me a rough quote of £900 for 2 new rear hubs but that's if they can get the ball joint out and hit no other problems . I have taken it to a mechanic who ordered the bush in advance only for it to be the wrong one so he tried his supplier who said the parts not available and its Lexus only. The posts I've read haven't gone into much detail but they mention a Vectra bush. I'm not a mechanic so could be wrong.
