- * AHHHH READ ME * okok so when the car brakes it toes OUT causing INNER tire wear sorrrrry about the misinformation! So many terms lol but either way toeing in or out causes the inner and outer tire wear! Sorry I'm not an alignment king.
TOE OUT TOE OUT TOE OUT TOE OUT TOE OUT I KNOOOWWWWWW hehe.
Happy December everyone, been a while since an upload due to it being finals szn! Just did this quick DIY OEM+ upgrade with the RCF/GSF stock bushings and thought I'd share my install. This does not only pertain to the Lexus 3rd generation models but also the 2nd generation as well. Toe wear is a serious thing on these platforms and can be corrected with this minor upgrade. I know there are poly bushings from RR Racing and Figs Engineering, but lets just say I'm a college student on a budget lol, the install is the same either brand you go with and any platform such as IS/GS/RC. Thanks for watching and reading if you made it here.

YOOO I GOT SOME INFO WRONGGG...THE CAR ***TOES OUT*** WHEN BRAKING CAUSING INNER TIRE WEAR. Either way there's tire wear lol. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING
Wowwww my cars low low so I thought it was rubbing somewhere, looked everywhere, went through 2 tires has exact wear like yours. Now I know ! Good shit! 🤙
@@Johnny-ud9kg glad I could help 😌🙏🏼
@@KennyVo will these fit a 2020 Lexus IS300 F Sport AWD?
How u fix it ?
Once again, a great video. Just used this again to swap out my RCF ones for FIGS ones!
For my AWD people, it’s actually a lil easier (at least on the 2015). It doesn’t have some of those parts that are in the way of the bushing, I didn’t need a breaker bar, and there was no hidden nut to worry about. You pretty much remove 5 bolts and slide the bushing off.
Thank you so much @Kenny Vo for making this video!
Yoo thanks for coming back after install to follow up for the AWD peeps. Very helpful!!!
Hey bro. Did you need to at some point. Have the front wheels touching the ground (as not to spin) when torquing or bolting something back on? I have a ‘19 AWD IS.
@@highcard6155 Nah just jack it up like normal with the wheels off the ground, make the switch, and torque it. The wheels wont move since they're not directly connected to the bushings.
@@KennyVo No problem man couldn't have done it without you. Btw if you ever decide to change your fenders and make a tutorial for it, that would be insane. I don't think anyone has done that yet.
@@drakowithadracoInstalled my pair today, thanks to you brotha! Now, do the bushings go into full effect immediately or do you need to kind of break them in? Thanks again🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watched this upload and decided to go for the same bushings you installed. I bought them about a month ago, but finally got to work on them last night for my new tires. I would've not even known inner tire wear was an issue on IS if I hadn't watch your video. Thanks for sharing!
Did doing this help with tire wear? Any update would be appreciated
Great to get these swapped ..but definitely wouldn't of swapped with oem ones. Aftermarket, unless you want to change these again (at least prematurely before a good aftermarket set)
Really helpful video. I just used it to change out the bushings on my 2019 IS-300. I bought the car a month ago, and it had brand new tires which told me that this issue was probably not fixed by the 2019 models. Lexus parts guys had no clue about this and were like, "ohhhh kaaayyy, we will sell you the parts, but there's no return once you open the bag..." The hardest part for me was the passenger side, which i had to use a breaker bar on top of a pry bar to get enough leverage to get it out. In fact it was a two man job getting both of them out, but the passenger side was tough. One other little tricky part was I had to turn the wheels slightly to get the bracket to line up with the holes on the drivers side. Other than that, it was just a matter of turning some wrenches. Saved me $500 at the local alignment guy, who quoted me 3.5 hours of labor. I did it in less than 3 with multiple trips back to my office to review. Also, I love that you included the torque specs. very helpful for a detail nerd like me.
Thanks for the kind words! I am glad I could help save money, who doesn't love saving money?? No problem with the torque specs, my goal is just to help out everyone every chance I get. Thank you again.
Great video im getting mines changes soon since it destroyed the same tire as yours. I did get the RCF bushings from my local dealer and paid 260 with tax since I didnt want to gamble the delivery date but I wish I would have ordered them online and saved the money. I hope this helps the issue for the future. Again great video I will forward this to the mechanic who is changing them out and doing the tire install and alignment.
Thanks a lot! Yeah dealers love messing with prices on anything they have they hands on sadly, and yes this will help it!
i have an RC and the rear is doing this so i had to get control arms but I'm definitely upgrading to a solid polymer LCA bushing since the stock ones are liquid filled
which control arms for the rear?
@@JordanWorst6 SPC Performance
@@thuglightyear75 spc performance rear camber arm correct?
@@JordanWorst6 yup, I think they give +/-3° if I'm remembering correctly. They do require some grease and anti-seize that isn't included though so make sure you grab that stuff too 👍
Great instructions and walkthrough. Might actually feel like doing this this weekend
Thank you! I feel like this is a must for this platform
“Is that a bump? DAYUM”
😂😂
Bell Lexus is great!
AMAZING!
So kenny vo i have a 2014 is350 lowered on bc coils i have awful inner tire wear wondering if rear camber arms and bushings would help fix that issue?
yeah it would help, it’s a mainly the toe because there is no adjustment for it but people do get toe arms to correct this during alignment
The 2020 is300 looks a lil different underneath
Did this but the rcf bushings still aren't hard enough, still inner tire wear. Going with rr racing usrs bushings
I'm thinking of doing the same thing.....how are they holding up?
@@bama205g Amazing. Put some loctite on the spindle bolt or check it periodically and you will be golden.
@@drasticmart how’s the Rr Bushings? Planning to get one for my AWD
@@leojohnwayne1422 They work great on my rwd, no more uneven tire wear
Nice ride! Spotted it at a Target in Houston a couple weeks back definitely should link I have a black 3is as well.
Thanks man and for sure!
can you provide me the torque specs for the IS 350 AWD 2022? I can't find it anywhere
I have an 08 Is350 and will be upgrading to the 2015 RCF LCA bushing because the rear tires are always wearing on the inside. Thanks.
Replacing the rear bushings correct?
Great vid man !! One of the nicest Is' i've seen on IG no doubt 🔥🔥
Thank you, you're too kind :')
whats the solution for the rear?
😂 @7:16 that was too funny.
You don’t need any power tools then you hear Cardi B 😂
lol annnddd now I got power tools hahaha.
@@KennyVo I’m sure it’s making life a lot easier 😅. What power tools did you get?
@@mobettaspice oh yeah, it is! I got Milwaukee impact and powered ratchet on Black Friday 😅😅
@@KennyVo ok nice. How that subwoofer working out ? Is it still in your car? Is dimming your lights ? Are you hungry for more bass? Or is that just enough?
@@mobettaspice Still working just fine and no lights dimming at all. I think its enough bass I always end up turning it down lol
Hey Kenny good job.
I have a 2015 RWD 250. Does this same part number do the job? Which tire brand are those?Planning to get a new set of tires after the bushing installation. How are these bushings holding up now? Please share your experience so far. Thanks in advance for any input you all may have for me.
Thanks, yeah the part number is the same. My old tires were Firestone Indy500, I love them and run them on the rear. For the front I run anything symmetrical because it still wears in the same spot just not as aggressive. The bushings are fine and still holding up. There is still inner tire wear just significantly reduced. I do drive 100-120 miles a day so that also plays into the wear. If you drive a lot, stopping and going, or even drive spirited I'd recommend aftermarket like RR racing or Figs Engineering.
I thought you’re suppose to torque the 22mm bushing bolt under load not up in the air
Kenny Vo. What up bro? Thanks for the update info 👍. Peace ✌bro.
what up what up! No problem, just trying to help the community out!
How do you know how many foot pounds of torquing? Thank you
hey bro howd u get the rear diffuser brake light??
I bought the diffuser with it from Lexuscarbonfiber.com
Wait, if your tires are consumed in the inner side there are two consequences ; TOW OUT and excessive CAMBER. plus you will notive a excessive TOW OUT because front becomes very unstable. I'm sure you lowered your car to much and didn't udjust the CAMBER. did you also put spacers? Also those if Camber and Tow in are not udjusted well can cause tyre wear.
Correct I mentioned that in the comments and description of the video after realizing what I said. Its natural camber from lowering yes and I like it. There was 20mm spacers on this set up. Also it only toes out when braking and accelerating its not toing out the whole time or else I would've been going through tires monthly
If you are consuming your tires that way, it means you are only usinf 50% of what that tire can give in your driving style. But if you go for looks more than effectiveness, then that is another story, just watch out on wet and snowy surfaces. PS: Instead of spacers, go for ET offset + Rim canal width, also bearing will thank you, Leave the spacers to the drifters!! :))) Forgot to say, spacers make your suspensions softer. ;)
@@Wolfox360 oh for sure! And yeah I have a set of wheels with proper specs now thanks
oem lca bushings for lexus suchs shouldve bought rr racing lca bushings but they are expensive
Nice!!! I lowered my IS with RSR springs and after a month I started hearing a clunking sound, do you think this could help fix it if I change them?
Hey thanks! the clunking can be a number of things like for me it was coming from my rears after lowering on superdowns and it was just my exhaust. If its from the front it can be as simple as spring not seated correctly, or bolts/nuts not torqued. One member on club lexus had the issue and heard clunking going over speed bumps, and coming to a stop. One of the members said that if it was clunking/creaking near the bushings then that would be caused by the strut being blown. Id check to see if any fluids are leaking from the strut and tighten everything down once more and don't forget to check the top hat nuts also. Good luck!
@@KennyVo good info
I order these bushings the other day and just realized they're for 2wd. Will they still fit for AWD?
I read on clublexus forum that AWD people still did this upgrade just fine
Saw this fix on the 3IS forums. Has it actually helped alleviate the premature tire wear? Just got new tires, need an alignment but am considering the RC part swap
Yeah this helps a lot. Since I’m on superdowns there is obviously still slight wear since it’s more pressure on suspension parts and driving aggressively doesn’t help it lol. But it is way better than before. Anything is better than the stock bushings from the IS
Hey bud I got a 2018 and I changed all tires 2 times in 2 years
Apart from the alignment, were you able to correct toe and/or camber in the front (or rear)?
Hello, what color did you use to paint the callipers?
Got the megan racing ones for the isf hopefully no more inner tire wear
🤞🏼🤞🏼
How are the GSF RCF better then the stock
It’s stiffer and deflects toe movement better than the stock ones but not too stiff like the poly ones u can get from like rr racing so it’s smoother.
Cool bro, I just notice my 2018 gs350 f sport rwd front end has inner tire wear also. Did this fix tire inner wear issue completely?
just minimized/slowed down the wearing process. need toe arms to correct. some have used rr racing or figs engineering bushings as well.
I have no idea what I'm doing but does the car have to be on normal height/suspension when torquing? Or is it okay to leave it on the jack stands?
youre supposed to do it with all wheels on the ground but i dont have a lift so no room to do that. I torqued it in the air and its fine still.
Great video🔥🔥🤙🏿!
thanks Sutogo!
Great video!!! New subscriber. Why did you go with OEM instead of say FIGS or another aftermarket bushing? How are they holding up? Did it resolve your tire wear issue?
Thanks and welcome! It was mainly budget and experiment for myself. A lot of people in the Facebook groups recommended this so I gave it a shot. It is holding up well, there is still wear but it is not as fast/often as the OEM bushings. The FIGS and RR Racing have steering response and I've seen mixed reviews on them with people taking them off because they didn't like the steering feel.
I wonder when’s the last time you got a alignment
I tried looking that part number however it says it doesn’t fit my 2017 is350 RWD. But found these instead, part #4807530040 & #4807630030.
of course. it is made for the GSF RCF. It will fit
I bought both bushings in same part number 2x75. Do you think it will effect anything?
Yeah if not they would’ve only sold 1. I’m sure that the curved edge helps it seat properly because the bushing in the bracket moves when you apply loads (braking, accelerating, steering).
@@KennyVo i guess im gonna have to make another trip to lexus lol. Thanks for the quick response! Also thx for the informative video!
@@teddys748 lol it's always nice going there haha, and no problem! Thank you!
Nice thanks for the help mines are dog shit to point of vibration
No problem! dang hopefully this fixes the vibration
I am having inner tire wear on the rear tires of my 2015 IS250 F sport. Will this upgrade effect/fix this? I find it hard to believe that a front bushing change will effect rear tire wear, but wanted to ask if you had any knowledge. Thanks!
The bushings only correct the front tires. The rear tires can be corrected with toe arms or even inflating your tires a little more so that it will wear out towards the center of the tire rather then the inner side, mine have been on 38psi and 40-42 psi when warm (driving) and it is wearing evenly. without toe arms.
@@KennyVo Thanks for the response and suggestion!
yo do you only change the front 2 bushings? don't worry about the back?? this will fix the back tire wear too??
back doesnt have these. you can buy toe arms for the rear or other components
🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼 tyty
Are each bushing specific to one side as in passenger or driver side, or does it not matter which side you install the bushings to?
i believe so because one side has a filet edge and other side is flat
I've had my 2017 is300 for 4 years now, and I went through 4 sets of tires, mind u I've had them on all year round. Been looking for the part numbers. Thanks
I know man it sucks, Idk how many ive gone through but it was rough first two years for me with the combination of inner tire wear and my tires being a nail magnet. Also no problem on the part numbers!
Do u think it's a problem if the people who installed mine used an impact for every bolt/nut? Unfortunately I only found out about torque specs after install and wheel alignment :*(
I think it should be fine still
hey bud, THANKS for video... how many miles & years did you have on the OLD bushings? thanks!!
no problem!! it was 5 years and maybe around 60-70k miles.
The lexus website says this wont fit my 2014 rwd. im assuming they fit because its the same hardware down there but do you know if these fit even tho my car is a 2014?
yes itll fit its the same chassis as my 16 200t. The part says it wont fit because its specifically made for the RCF/GSF, but it is completely interchangeable.
So i just bought myself a 2006 is 350. Haven't noticed any inner tire wear etc, should i still upgrade to gsf-s or not and do they even go to my car?
I looked it up on clublexus forums and it says they do fit. It’s up to you if you want to upgrade them or not, I got by the rule of if it’s not broke don’t fix it lol. Maybe it already has upgraded ones 🤷🏻♂️
Nice video... next on my list🤙
Much needed for the platform and great to DIY!
@@KennyVo should have done it on all my projects. Helps big time to aviod errors.... can't count how times ive done things on my cars in the past were a quick video would have saved me parts,money and time.lol 🤙
Hey man, do do you need to pre-load the suspension before the torque process?
No you don’t need to everything still holding up, no clunking or squeaking
Yes you do, at least for the main bolt that goes through the bushing itself. Its not just so much about preload so much as torquing the bushings where they will naturally want to be at normal ride height. If you torque up the bushings with the suspension completely sagged it will put extra stress on the bushings and will cause them to fail sooner.
I’m really unsure about this one. I torqued everything on my AWD with it on Jack stands. Should I retorque with things on the ground?
Are the bushings only on the two front wheels? I’m planning to replace mine too in the future, but wasn’t sure if there were bushing on all 4 wheels.
Yes they’re only for the front
Is it the same for awd and rwd?
Yes same thing, other AWD owners done this to theirs and shared on Club Lexus
Does it matter what kind of grease you use? & is it necessary? Thanks about to install today!
It doesn't really matter on what kind. It is necessary since it is metal on metal, others have done this upgrade without the grease and heard squeaking/clunking from the metal on metal contact. It is just preventative corrosion.
Are you happy with these rcf bushings or wish you would've went for say Figs 80 durometer poly street bushings? (which are supposed to have no squeaks vs RR 95 bushings).
I am happy with mine! My goal was just to correct the inner tire wear which is doing good so far
Nice job saving this video for future upgrade.
What grease did you use?
Honestly I just used some grease I had for my bikes when I built them...I would recommend grease by Lucas Oil since it's made for automobiles.

@@KennyVo ahh okay cool thanks
Does it matter what year RCF/GSF bushing i get? i have a 2016 AWD IS 350
No they should be the same
So after 2 years after changing this LCA bushings, how was the tire wear? significantly less tire wear?
It is still present but yes a lot less wear. I assume it is still present due to my car being lowered and spirited driving habits, but I have changed my tires less since!
@@KennyVo how often do you change your tires?
Where did you manage to find the torque diagrams?
Found them on ClubLexus forums
www.clublexus.com/forums/is-3rd-gen-2014-present/911772-installing-gs-f-rc-f-front-lower-control-arm-bushing-3.html
did you torque all the bolts while the car was on jack stands?
Yeah, my car is lowered so I can’t torque when it’s down or load on it
Hey man I bought the parts but just realized they gave me the part ending with 76 two of them I’m getting it installed by Canadian tire but they said it looks exactly the same . By the time you see this it’s already on do you think it will have any effect
Yeah they are very identical, only thing is that the center hold where the rubber bushing is has a flat side on one and fillet on the other. I doubt it will make a difference though.
@@KennyVo thanks for the quick reply man! Love the videos!
Did this fix the problem? I need these for my wife’s car. Lexus IS300 fits, right?
it reduced the inner tire wear by a lot. I'm a pretty aggressive driver..sometimes (accelerate hard, brake hard) and that's what causes the inner tire wear. And yes it fits any 2014+ Lexus IS
Does this help with cornering at all? I live in the canyons and I’m trying to make my Lexus handle better.
It is a harder compound rubber so it feel stiffer/planted when cornering. For track use they do have aftermarket options from Figgs Engineering and RR Racing.
@@KennyVo Forsure I’ll check those out! Thanks for the info bro! 🙏
How are you liking the RCF/GSF bushings compared to your oem? Big difference?
They feel nice when braking, previously the nose would dive in but now it feels more planted stopping. Steering is just a tad stiffer not drastic but only time will tell with the tire wear.
@ROB it is significantly less. Of course, Figs is better it is was made for track/aggressive driving
How are these bushings holding up now? Will these fit for an awd 07 gs 350? Will I need an alignment after installing?
Theyre still doing fine! I am not exactly sure if they will fit, I couldn't find anything about it for your car. You will need an alignment after installation
@@KennyVo That’s awesome. I’m about to install some I bought from Raymond (raysrcf) since he bought some figs for his RCF. I appreciate your install video :)
Did that cause vibration at high speeds?
not at alllllll!
Do u think it would fit a 2009 Lexus is 350 RWD
it does
Quick question on your suspension bro, put on rsr super downs on my 17 is 200t literally yesterday, and I wanted to know if there was any issues as far as like struts or any other parts that go bad caused from the springs, just as a precaution I guess. Tryna be safe than sorry lol
what's up! yeah struts do go bad because of springs but so far I haven't had any issues on mine and had them for over 50k miles daily driving on them. I did research on our struts before getting springs and haven't heard of any blown struts, i know it is common on other cars.
@@KennyVo I appreciate the response bro, other than the bushings what else you recommending to do for I guess better ride quality
@@jasonsanchez638 no worries, that's all i have suspension wise. For handling I picked up a Blitz strut bar but you can use any strut bar to stiffen the body.
Did you reuse the previous bolts?
yes i did
Will this work on my IS 300 F-Sport ?
it will
Hey there,great video!!!Do you think these would fit 2014 is 350 f sport?
They do fit
@@KennyVo thank you for replay
So is it help when we change the bushing?
Indeed. It decreases/minimalizes inner tire wear that is common on this platform. There's a lot of info on clublexus.
Are you running spacers and springs or coils?
This set up i was on 20mm spacer all around and RSR superdown springs
How is the tire wear after a couple years?
significantly less, still present due to me being lowered and having "natural camber"
Any updates on ride quality since first installed?
Ride quality is still good very similar to stock! Inner tire wear is significantly less, I have a heavy foot so its bound to happen but noticeably less tire wear up front.
Did you have wheel wobble from braking because of this
Did not, it felt as if I had zero problems under there
@@KennyVo Thanks for the reply my man. I changed all 4 discs, pads and slider pins. Blead brakes through. Drop links (anti roll) were shot. Also the left front wheel bearing was knocking but not grinding. Steering colum down shaft UJ was loose on the spline under dash! That made wobble alright! Went for wheel alignment and it now test drives 95% better but I can still feel it isn't 100% all the bushes look ok but I have strong suspicion I have play on an arm giving me this feeling. I just haven't pry barred them all yet. I have no knocks or clunks but definitely some suspension steering play somewhere. Also new tyres all round!
@@E69apeTheMatrix420 huh didn’t know it would be that bad, I would’ve guessed warped rotors, balance wheels, alignment. Glad you got most of it handled!
so, this is for the front? does this fix the rear tire wear?
Yes for the front, rear needs different components like toe arms and camber arms if you need it
Do you have torque specs for all the nuts ? Is there a diagram at all
Idk if this is a joke lol but its on there @8:10
Lmfao sorry i didnt watch the entire video
What grease you use
Just used some grease from when I worked on bicycles amzn.to/3G5mbyZ , you can use any gear grease or auto parts store grease works just fine
Will this fit my Lexus 2is? 2010
Yes it will.
What are you lowered on?
RSR Superdowns
How much?
The part ranges from $100-$150
Nice video! How did you find those torque spec diagrams?
thanks man, i sourced them through clublexus forum provided by another member
Make that bushing noise
wot
Time for a new intro 🤔
Ohhh worrrd, new year new me
what tint percent do u have?
My car was tinted already when I bought it, Its 35% - 40% not much. I would prefer it to be darker.
