Lexus LS460 AWD owners often face recurring control arm problems, particularly with the ball joints and bushings. Finding reliable replacement parts can be a challenge. However, a recent discovery on Drivcat may offer a solution for those struggling with these issues, specifically for the 2009 model year.

Addressing the Missing Upper Rear Control Arms
While Drivcat lists several Beck Arnley control arms, it appears to lack options for the front upper rear control arms for the AWD model. However, FIGS Engineering offers a complete upper control arm set for the AWD LS460, filling this gap. FIGS Engineering Link
Potential Compatibility with Later Models
Although the Beck Arnley lower control arms listed on Drivcat are specified for the 2009-2012 models, online forums suggest potential compatibility with later model years (2013 onwards). This possible cross-compatibility could expand the applicability of these newly available parts. Further research is recommended to confirm fitment before purchasing.

The availability of Beck Arnley control arms on Drivcat, complemented by FIGS Engineering’s offerings, presents a potential breakthrough for Lexus LS460 AWD owners experiencing persistent control arm problems. These new listings may provide a more complete and convenient solution compared to previous options. While further investigation and confirmation of compatibility are advised, this discovery offers a promising avenue for addressing a common issue in these vehicles.
