🔥 What a difference Lexus IS, GS, RC Control Arm Bushings Replacement and Comparison | DIY | How To

I was a bit sceptical on how better new GSF/FIGs/RR racing bushings would be, but after replacement, I cant believe how big of a difference it is. Car is not the same anymore, its super drivable and precise now.
Highly recommended to everyone who owns one of these and doesn't like wobbly steering and vibrations.
I share some tips and tricks when replacing those to make it easy and fun. Enjoy

Thank you so much this video helped me a whole lot!! I have a 2014 is350 and I know the bushings are bad because it rattles over small bumps and my steering waddles and vibrates when braking

[@MechAdventures]

Glad it helped

[@elliottbeetz6753]

Super helpful! I'll be installing some new bushings later this week with your help. Much appreciated!

[@AllEyezOnRod]

I guess I will check mine on my 2018 GS350. Great video!

[@kgrimm5576]

Hopefully some new poly bushings will help my is350 at freeway speeds, it needs it 4sure.

[@GokuInstinct1]

Are the RR Racing bushings better than OEM? Or does it not matter? I want better handling on my Lexus GS350 AWD and was looking at their Coilovers, lower, and upper controls arms.

[@MechAdventures]

RR racing way more road noise and vibration

[@AllEyezOnRod]

@@MechAdventuresso not good. I heard that we could use the one from the GSF

[@MechAdventures]

stick with gsf

[@chevy9648]

Thank you very much just bought it an going to install it in my car as soon as possible.

[@agboadeka7629]

Nice I do own a 09 IS 350 ....planning on doing same soon 👍🏾

[@carlbrooks90]

Why did you decide to stay stock? I would have at least upgrade to Megan racing ones

[@fkum23]

Please where and what kind of bushings did you buy. OEM of after market? ty

[@MechAdventures]

OEM, bought them from megazip.com

[@tiburon69]

What happen if the bushings doesn’t have the shape cone of the lower arm big screw goes ???

[@timsdav]

I'm just curious which offset bracket arm did you used as replacement if ever mentioned since lexus catalog offers a -20, 00 and +20 offset brackets. Just don't want to make any mess to my suspension

[@MechAdventures]

99% of cars is 0 offset

[@edensnicolas9593]

Cool video, awesome job. First what kind of lift is that? Doesn’t look like it’s built into the floor. Second question I have to do this job for my gs350 and since I don’t have a lift can I just preload the suspension from the lower rotor/lower control arm before torquing the bolt?.

[@MechAdventures]

its this lift - FHB3000-03-SS-2300 -- you can preload suspension from bottom of knuckle.

[@edensnicolas9593]

@@MechAdventures thanks my friend.

[@fubuseriousgear]

Great informative video, what grease did you use and is it needed think factory is without grease. Want to replace my is350 with rcf lca to reduce inner tyre wear

[@MechAdventures]

Thank you. I cant say for sure whether factory used grease when new or not, but sure enough it wont hurt it to do it now, to prevent squeaking. I used lithium based grease, but any grease will do. The heavier grease the better as the area gets splashed by water there.

More GS content!

[@MechAdventures]

Will do soon

@@MechAdventures Subscribed, i waiting for it. I have Gs450h from 12'

[@edgarari8497]

Hey man! So I forgot to preload that one bolt that goes through the bushing. When I wake up in the morning, I’d like To fix that. Would I be able To simply raise the car, loosen it up to 20ft lbs or so, lower the car and then torque it to spec again?

[@MechAdventures]

Yes, no problem

[@artem6286]

Can I do wheel alignment before change or should I do it after the change?

[@MechAdventures]

Do it after

[@aneeshprasobhan]

Do you think the Polyurethane option from Fig is good ? I'm afraid its going to share load to other bushing and wear them out since the new ones will be very still. What do you think ?

[@MechAdventures]

I think gsf is just right. Figs are to hard imho.

[@aneeshprasobhan]

@@MechAdventures Hey thanks for the info.

[@user-cm1ms8tg9b]

How do I get this bushings it’s scarce here in Nigeria 😭

[@MechAdventures]

try megazip

[@centurian318]

Will this solve my inboard tire wear?

[@kgrimm5576]

Other Lexus owbers have solved it this way, get an alignment after tho.

[@jessecruz471]

Not sure if it solves it 100% but I hear there's a big improvement.
