Thought about going with something like the energy suspension kit, but I'd rather spend the $200-300 more for OEM stuff. Try to find low mile control arms off a salvage car. I got front lowers and rear uppers for $250 shipped with 27k on them. Would've been $900 new for all those otherwise. That's definitely the biggest part of the cost.

The big poly front control arm bushing on the Energy kit makes me a little nervous.
Little bit more difficult to get but the STI Group N rubber front control arm bushing would be a good choice that's not poly or spherical but stiffer than OEM. - Andrew |

That's a bit farther than I'd like to drive. Do you need stock rear lower control arms? I took mine off at about 2,000 miles I think. |

Nope, I got all the control arms taken care of.

Does anyone know if there's a list out there of all the OEM Bushing Part #'s ? Looking to do a full bushing refresh on my MY13. The Toyota parts site is a little confusing and want to make sure I'm not missing any bushings.

That's really generous. Would it add too much to the workload to chase down part numbers for the Group N bushings while you're at it? Appreciate the effort.

Hi Andrew, how do you feel about large and small bushings being replaced with spherical bearings? Anything to watch out for? |
