Instagram @LILEVO90 • 0:00 The project begins, checking out the Executive seating option with ottoman • 0:50 Control arm overview, upper control arms have been changed • 3:30 Inspecting the torn lower control arms • 5:07 Looking at all the new 2013+ control arms • • • Lexus LS460 control arm failure and knocking noises are a common issue and complaint on these vehicles. Watch my videos and you can fix that! Some AWD arms are different than RWD. • 2007-2009 (and 2010-2011) Lexus LS460 RWD CAN upgrade to the revised 2012-2017 control arms. Lexus does NOT advertise this. • 1) The steering knuckle is the same 07-17. This is good news if we are going to start swapping different part numbers control arms. That tells us the geometry is going to be the same. • 2) The front lower arm was revised from silver to the black painted version, per the TSB related to knocking noise when braking. • https://www.clublexus.com/forums/atta... • 3) The original part numbers for this front lower arm are 48620-59015 and 48640-59015. The revised part numbers are for the 2012+ fitment and are 48620-59035 with 59055 replacing that one and 48640-59035 with 59045 replacing that one. Based on the TSB, Lexus confirmed that 07-17 lower front arms interchange, but websites only show the new part numbers as fitting 2012+. Beware! If you have a 2007-2011 there is a great chance that Lexus will sell you the old, original silver arms referred in the TSB. • 3) Lastly, while there is nothing official, the same conclusion can be said about the revised lower main arms that only show fitment for 12-17. Original 2007 part numbers are 48620-50070 and 48640-50070. The revised better bushing versions show on websites as only fitting 2012+ and are 48640-50131 and 48620-50131. Beware! If you have a 2007-2011 there is a great chance that Lexus will sell you the old, bad arms seen in this video. • These are the part numbers you need to order: • Lower main RH 48620-50131 RWD only 2013 upgraded arm • Lower main LH 48640-50131 RWD only 2013 upgraded arm • Lower Main RH 48620-50081 AWD only • Lower Main LH 48640-50081 AWD only • Front Lower RH 48620-59055 RWD only 2013 upgraded arm • Front Lower LH 48640-59045 RWD only 2013 upgraded arm • Front Lower RH (2) 48660-59016 AWD only • Front Lower LH (2) 48670-59016 AWD only • Front Upper RH (1) 48610-59125 RWD / AWD • Front Upper RH (1) 48610-59135 RWD only • Front Upper RH (1) 48610-59145 AWD only • Front Upper LH (1) 48630-59125 RWD / AWD • Front Upper LH (1) 48630-59135 RWD only • Front Upper LH (1) 48630-59145 AWD only • Knuckles with pressed in ball joints • 43202-59075 • 43201-59045
