Highlander AWD Rear steering knuckle bushings

John Beard said:

Has anyone found replacement bushings for the Rear steering knuckle on 2004-2007 Highlanders with AWD? No one sells them, even Toyota. They want you to buy the complete steering knuckle with the 3 bushings already installed for around $400. There must be a replacement available if we knew the exact size of the bushing(s). Thanks.

OK the list below should help get you in the right direction. Remember this is for the AWD not FWD. If a quantity is listed that is how many you need to replace them on both sides. Some parts are the same but used in more than one place. The reason I used the Dorman arms in this list was the no one single vendor at the time had everything in stock and I could get them to my house within the time I had available. Odds are you will need new bolts, I used grade 10 metric stuff I matched up at the hardware store, I would have saved a ton of time had I cut mine off right away and had access to a set of torches.

Picture from FEBEST to help show what is what:

If I can be of anymore help send me a PM and I will get the email notification quicker than coming back to read the thread. It was a tough job but I did it and saved a ton of money. In my case I only needed to replace 2 out of 3 arms on each side but all 3 bushings in the knuckle. Everyone calls it a knuckle as do it, I think in my research Toyota calls it a axle carrier sub assembly.

Again if anyone is tackling this on a first gen and its AWD I would be glad to answer any questions I had, I was frustrated all to often due to lack of documentation out there since Toyota would rather not have to worry about the individual components so they only list the knuckle in the literature I came across.
