4th Generation Rear strut rods bushings fried

Hello fellows

I have a little issue with my Camry. The rear strut rods bushings and the one that it goes in the rear axle carrier are done.

Is there any way to replace these bushings? Where can I get?

Or I need to replace both parts or in these case the 4?

Thanks for any help .

Not sure what bushings you're talking about... The ones in the suspension arms that go from the chassis out to the wheel/strut/brake assembly? If yes, then yes, I believe the bushings are not available separately; gotta buy the whole arm. I *KNOW* that's true for the rear-most arms, anyways. Not positive about the rear-front arms.

Ah, OK. I was talking about the lateral pair... Upper left corner of that pic, where the boxed-in "181" is pointing at the nut that holds 'em.

The arm you're talking about, you can get the bushings. Here's a link below to some aftermarket units:

BMR Thanks for the help, I will get in touch with this company. Have you used it before?

SSSGood, basically yunk yards here in Costa Rica are convenience stores for replacement parts. The problem is 4gen Camrys are not oftenly driven here so is hard to get the parts for these cars and for the axle carrier they charging me US$ 95 for both sides.

Thanks for the tip.

No, I haven't. Someone else posted that link a while back and I bookmarked it just in case I needed it later.
