2007 LE 2.4 rear knuckle/lateral bushings need replacing
Hello, Working on the GF's (Darlene) car today and ran into a couple issues. Anyone know after market part numbers for the rear lower lateral link to knuckle bushings. I'm replacing bad lateral links on the 2007 camry 2.4 LE (vin: 4T1BE46K97U159138) and the bolts were seized in the bushings so broke them trying to get them out.
Called the dealer for lateral link and bushing part numbers (got the link numbers listed below) but was told that they don't sell the lower knuckle bushings separately and that I would need to buy the entire knuckle that has them already in.
Anyway, I ordered new lateral links from Rock Auto but couldn't find any parts for the rear knuckles.
Any help with part numbers for the bushings would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve
These are the new links I ordered:
Passenger side #48730-07040 ordered CMS86187 Mevotech
Driver side #48740-07020 ordered CMS86188 Mevotech
Just an FYI: Not being picky... But got the links from Rock Auto and the bushing was inserted cooked on 86187. Also, not sure why they have two different part numbers as they seem to be identical except for they both have reversed threads and from what I can see that's meant for adjustment as both nuts would turn in the same direction for alignment. Other then that no idea. ....I just think that installing this would put to much stress on the thin metal that it mount too.
Here's a couple pics.
Here's a few pics.
pass side lateral link. adjustment nut stripped.
didn't remove the bushing yet.
tried to drill out the bolt... wasted time.
I think the mevotech links read 19.75 so should be right.

Some Toyota dealers list the rod and arm parts while others state discontinued.
Lateral arms are left/right probable to keep alignment procedures the same. Strut rod is same for both sides.
Can you drill out the broken stud?
Ebay lists the knuckle, rod and arm. Or try salvage yard. Check an online dealer to get years and Toyota models used on such as Avalon.
