Is300 Rear Spherical bushing Removal/Install

[@Under9Kadventures]

I like the use of proper tools for the job. And props to ratcheting wrenches lol.

[@allentan5779]

Lol thanks bro and yes for proper tools!!

[@Captainstabalot]

Good shit. Cant wait to hear how it feels after replacing them whopped ass bushings. Awesome Video!

[@allentan5779]

Thanks bro it feels weird making these type of videos. And makes the job longer trying to do both.

W curren$y in the background at the end as well.. 😂

[@imJGott]

Hopefully you see this Before you did the job, did you experience clunk noise coming from the rear subframe? I noticed I started to hear clunky noise when I dropped my subframe to do my bushings with cube speed bushings and frs rear diff with Xcessive bushings. Perhaps I may have damaged the stock bushing on knuckle and now I have a clunk/knock sound.

[@allentan5779]

my car had zero clunking noises or any type of noises. i know with the frs diff you have to open up the holes more to make it work with the is300 chassis. maybe you made the holes slightly to big and its got a little bit of movement when you go over bumps or hit the gas pedal?

[@imJGott]

@@allentan5779 thanks for the reply. for the frs diff i bought the proper bolts for it so i wouldnt have to open up the holes. ill have to put my car on a lift and see what is moving back and forth. the movement i notice when i go forward of backwards. as if something is shifting. i thought it was my rear upper control arm, replaced those since they were aged and worn out. clunk still exist. suspension was replaced a couple of weeks ago for the same reason as before, same clunk. it all came after my friends and i dropped my rear subframe to do the subframe bushings. what got me thinking is it could be possible that its not torque to spec but instead we shot them down with a high impact gun. ill need to verify the torque spec and ill also reach out to cube speed for insight.

[@allentan5779]

@@imJGott sometimes you can misalign the subframe when putting it back up or torquing down one side more than the other. Yeah put it on a lift and have a big wedge bar to move stuff around with should be able to find the movement. And when you say right size bolts you mean smaller now? since you didnt drill out the ears to the right size of the factory is300 bolts.

[@imJGott]

@@allentan5779 but the FRS rear diff bolts at the dealer.

[@mike8549]

2012 ford explorer xlt same bushing, I went throught 2 bushings and 2 1/2inch x9 inch bolts i got all the adapter kits no peices fit right it keeps going in crooked the rivets on the bolts failed and bolt was stuck on and the rim of the bushing completely crushed and chipped, im about to file the knuckle and sand it to make the hole bigger!?!?!

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

*You was suppose to lubricant that spherical bushing. Especially the bearings themselves because they will be moving metal on metal, I'm sure you've felt the friction and heard squeaking by now*

[@allentan5779]

I lubricated them lol i realized it after i put everything back together. And figs sent me my bushing/bearings pre assembled i contacted them and they said they put it together pre lubricanted since they didnt send me the lub with my kit. But i did go back and ad some grease to the metal inserts afterwards

@@allentan5779 OK OK. Good job my guy.

@@allentan5779 The gs300 which I have and the is300 have so many damn suspension parts and bushings.

[@allentan5779]

@@MRMAN-wb1tv yeah the full kit is super expensive but so worth it i track my car quite a bit and it makes a big difference.

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

@@allentan5779 Trust me I know. I don't know how many parts you've changed out. But I changed out EVERY single suspension part. You name it I've swapped it out over the last 10 months with street/track parts. But I'll never track it 😂😂😂

[@romanecrawford5283]

Where can I get those figs bushings bro

[@MakersMike]

I just did spherical bearings to the trac arm knuckle replacement after watching this vid. Used a different bushing kit but same idea. I have stoptech calipers on the front. What kind are those on the rear?

[@allentan5779]

Its a full bbk setup called wp pro. 6pot front and 4 pot rears, 2 piece rotors 14".

[@ericmg7563]

Thanks for sharing the helpful video! Mine is 2009 Lexus IS 350, do you know if OEM bushings are available on the market? or I have to use the aftermarket ones?

[@allentan5779]

Sorry for the late reply but you can get oem ones just have to find the part number

[@elijah2345]

Question, was yours Squeaking when driving? My Driver Side Rear Is Squeaking so annoyingly and I'm wondering if that's why you ended up doing this maintenance

[@allentan5779]

No i noticed some play in the bushing so i ended up getting the figs bushings since i track the car. I noticed it under decompression in the suspension.

[@saulhernandez1953]

What size of socket did you used to push it out mine is squeaking really bad

[@allentan5779]

It was a 30mm socket

[@saulhernandez1953]

@@allentan5779 thank you I was going to do it with a 32 mm, did you used the same 30 mm socket to push it in

[@jeffumbach]

Man the IS350 version was an absolute pain to press in compared to this one.

[@allentan5779]

Really? Everyone I know said that about these but I found it to be easy as hell lol

[@GMS_LofiBeats]

Are you at 300k miles on the original w55 transmission? If so, did you ever have to do a rebuild on it?

[@allentan5779]

Yes 300k on the original w55 and no never did. Just fluid flush and clutch was replaced at 187k.

[@1jz_gte]

What brakes and rotors are you running?

[@allentan5779]

I run wp pro 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears. 336x30mm rotors fronts and slightly bigger rears due to the ebrake.
