Need to replace either the bush's or the complete control arm assy on the rear of a 90# Prado. Very costly $$$ Are the bush's easy to push out and replace with a kit set of bush's ?. OR is there a place that sells arms at a good price ?.

If they're anything like an 80 series rear arm you'll need about a 20T press & a properly sized punch to get them out. Easy with the right tools.

Some sort of press is essential, Easiest way I found was using a pre-used bush to push it out, have tried big sockets and almost everything else The cost of paying someone to do this almost justifies buying your own press.

I have some new Toyota bushes that I'm trying to offload, do you know the Toyota Part numbers?

Yep, I built myself a press & it's been way more useful than I thought. Cheaper to just buy one unless you have some suitable steel lying around though. You see them for ~$300 on special sometimes. I also made up some properly sized punches on my wee lathe that make the job hugely easier.



80 series rear upper arm bushes are pn# 48702-60031 lower ones are 48702-60040 according to an online parts fiche I found - If it's these you have I might be interested in a set for spares if they're cheap enough.
