i just got some Second hand ones from a wrecker in QLD
i think by memory they were $150ea with the camber bolts and came from a car that had done 40k (mine was 160k)
i was then going to fit new bushes to the old arms, but never did
got another car instead2008 Dune D4D manual GXL update - with lots of fruit !! + Roma Razorback Off Road Van

Hey amts,
Can you list the UAE website that these prices come from, there is a massive $1700-1800 savings to be had!!!
So we've got a 260% markup from Toyota parts here in Australia, I know Toyota are bad, but jeez this is a rip off!

Old thread I know, but I need to replace the bushes on my front end. Looks like it's easier to replace LCA's and UCA's via amayama.com04 GXL - Red Centa dual battery, Alloy B/bar, BFG AT's, Rhino Rack commercial bars x 3, GME TX3540, TJM roof cage, Outback Ideas recovery points, LHS rear drawer, 2" Dobinsons/Bilstein lift, ARB CKMA12 air compressor, CoilRite airbags, ARB 2.5m awning, MCC Dual Wheel Carrier, Eagle Eye headlights with 55w hid lo beam.

You'll probably need to also add the cost of new caster bolts in as well. Quite often they are rusted in and need replacing after cutting them out.
It's often cheaper to buy a complete aftermarket ATM with bushes.
Pedders. Fulcrum etc do them, Whitey from the forum also can obtain.

Very similar vintage vehicle as mine, all four of mine need replacing too. Was picked up not long after Whitey installed my brand new suspension and I got a wheel alignment. Whitey mentioned my cams were all fine but alas the bushes were torn!! Maybe the wheel aligners did it but the rubber is old anyway.
I considered aftermarket however a lot of mechanics recommended the rubber Toyota bushes. Weighed everything up after 'chatting' to a few people and jumped on amayama and opened an account. I'm awaiting for it all to arrive in the near future. Ordered all the bushes and all the caster bolts and nuts too. Did not just order complete LCA's as I was initially going to do!

I replaced my LCA bushes last year using genuine ones from Amayama too. Make sure they are orientated in the arms correctly when they are pressed in.Silver '04 KZJ120~Manual~GXL~Dobinson/Kings lift~Custom valved Ironmans~Detroit Locker~Endless Air~X9 Superwinch~Madman EMS1~TJM Dual Battery~Rhino Roof Tray~120W solar panel~Foxwing awning~Bushskinz UVP~Long Ranger water tank~Bushman fridge~Steinbauer P-Box~Beaudesert 2 3/4"~Airtec Snorkel~TJM Sliders~Prico Boost Gauge~BFG-KO2s~TPMS~GME TX3420~Front and Rear Cameras~Ultimate Camper hanging off the back!

Many thanks Adrian. Whitey kindly mentioned the same thing. I'll give em a bucket of anti seize too!!!!! I think for my requirements it is the best solution although I would have liked complete aftermarket adjustable LCA's.[SIZE=1]03 TD 120 Grande, L&R weathershields, f&r deflectors, Sov bar Amts rad b.pl, TJM front B.P, Uniden UH7760NB Kaymar LED worklight, ARB 47l, lifestyle rack & Milford C.

Hi everyone.
I am resurrecting an old thread for sure. I am about to replace the 4 lower wishbone bushings in my 2018 Prado with genuine bushes. My question is about the cam flanges... Do I mark them and take pictures before removing and replace in exactly the same position? what do I need to know? Also do I need to have a wheel alignment after replacing? Thank you in advance.
