6:52 a sliding bar clamp comes in very handy for pressing in the tube as it gives even pressure as you ratchet it tighter. The clamp would have also come in handy for holding that spherical bearing in place while the sleeve retainer set. Watching this makes me feel a lot better that I bought some spare knuckles off a parts car to do this with rather than risking the knuckles on the car itself in case something goes wrong.
Hey man, good video, just a heads up for next time. at around 5:00 when you were taking the bushing out with the ball joint kit, make sure you push on the outside race of a bearing or outside sleeve of the bushing, when you press down on the inside sleeve, all that force transferers through the rubber bushing so youre doing way more work. a shorty socket can line up nice and make that job easier. Keep up the good work man
I got a crazy creaking coming from my rear driver's side. I can't figure out if its the lower part of the sway bar link or the knuckle bushing thats bad. What you think
I'm in the process of installing these on the rear but I've had FIGS poly LCA bushings on the front of my IS350 for a few years now and no squeaking either.

When this part is bad, would the rear end give u a lil sway if u hit a depression too fast?
Love the channel bro helps me a lot with my whip!!
hi im confuse which part of the knuckle did the poly bushings go in
Drop the link to the bushings
Do these also fit for 2gs ?
Yesssir
excellent is300 content, thank you.
Damn my "spherical bushing" are not the same design they have a poly center. I need to rent a ball joint press.

Could be anything hard to tell unless you look underneath and check. It’s cheaper to replace the end link first.
How long have they lasted
Stilling running strong

8:52 I cannot imagine doing this part without gloves. I don't want that stuff on my skin.
Yes I recommend not doing it. It ruin my fingertips 😂

Figs shit don’t fit perfectly. Serial nine is the best
