Gen3 & Gen4 Camry biggest issue...

[mouayingvang24]

Gen3 & Gen4 Camry biggest issue is the rear suspension bushing.

Parts:
No.1 Lower Suspension Arm (driver side and passenger side)
No.2 Lower Suspension Arm (driver side and passenger side)
Stabilizer bushing (driver side and passenger side)

This is the biggest problem for these camry gen as for all Gen3 Camry owner knows it and some of the Gen4 Camry (mostly Struts problem). I have read so many threads about these Lower Suspension Arm (LSA) also known as Lateral Control Rods that they don’t make bushing for them at all, but make other bushing that may fit and not perform as well as factory OEM LSA. There for we have to buy one or a pair of the whole NO.1 LSA. Which we are spending more money then saving the money and wasting more metal instead of saving more metal for better parts.

Okay so this is what I really want to know. I want to know the diameter from center to wall, center to inside bushing of where the long bolt goes in, and the length on all 8 LSA bushing area.

So if I can have enough people help, vote, and donate some money. I am welling to spend and invest my own money into these set of bushing to satisfy Gen3 and Gen4 Camry owner with better bushing in the rear suspension.

Depending on vote these bushing will be made by one of these three places:

Energy Suspension
Prothane.com
White Line

THIS IS NOT A SCAM I repeat THIS IS NOT A SCAM

As for value and time I will get back with that later when they email back asap before anyone or anything happens. Thanks for taking your time and patience to be thinking this over.

From that link:

"Rear Control Arm - Front Rear Outer Bushing Kit (a.k.a. Lateral Control Rods).- 1105K- (8 bushings, 4 tubes) fits outer of the front - rear control arms.
In other words the outer ends that are towards the rear wheels. Will not fit the rearward rear control arm (adjustable one).
Yes the kit has some extra bushings. From feed back I got from customers it does only the outer ends. The outer are usually the ones that ware out.
It may to the inner ones too but so far I can not confirm this. $63.29"

In my experience it usually is the rear outer control arm bushing that goes bad. It states this kit will not fit that.

Looks like I have to drop the rear cradle as no room to pull bolts out as the tank/spare are in the way

energy suspension 8.3118 is for the rear control arms. however i bought a set and the shop couldn't get them to press in so... shrugs

Rust i think is the biggest problem. And Coils

The outer end doesn't have a simple rubber bushing. At least not on the rear-most arm. It has a spherical bearing; sorta like a ball joint. Scroll down a bit in this thread to see pics. Some guy from Poland tore one apart. I've never found a place where you can buy it. Just the rubber bushings on the other ends.
