Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Ball Bushing P/N:523-273
Keep your rear lower suspension pivoting smoothly with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm Ball Bushing 523-077. This ball bushing is engineered as a direct replacement that fits and performs like the original equipment, and it's cataloged for the rear right lower and rear left lower position on the 1998-2005 Lexus GS300, 1998-2000 Lexus GS400, 2001-2005 Lexus GS430, 2001-2005 Lexus IS300, and 2002-2010 Lexus SC430.
A control arm ball bushing serves as a pivoting, cushioning connection point in the rear lower suspension, isolating vibration while letting the arm move. Worn bushings can show up as clunking over bumps, looseness, or uneven tire wear; if a failed rear lower ball bushing is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — order 2 to service both sides, and replacing them as a pair helps keep suspension movement balanced.
