KZJ Prado suspension arm bushes

[IcedJohnno]

Hi All
My truck needs the radius arm bushes replacing in the rear where the arms connect to the diff housing.
Having read about these for the Nissans where everybody recommends factory bushes I thought I would ask Toyota.

Seems they only supply the front and 1st of the rear bushes but you can't get the rear bush, its not replaceable!
Also the prices were horrendous $114 & $138 + gst respectively EACH.

Can anybody suggest good quality bushes that will last well and will actually flex?

HELP thanks

Thanks guys
Are the bushes the same part for all three positions or do they differ for all ?
I want to get the parts all sorted before I take the vehicle off the road this time
How have the after market parts worked for you Krawlr, plenty of flex and durability?

The blue BNT "Noltec" bushes have a reputation for being quite hard - if you are going to go urethane then have a look at the Nolathane range, as the quality of the urethane is better, and more supple.

Don't expect them to be cheap tho... If they are anything like the Nissan ones you will be doing overtime to pay for them
