Rear Lower Control Arm – Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series 5.7L V8 (2007-ON)
Replace your worn, bent, clunking or rusted rear lower control arm on your Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200 / VDJ200 5.7L 3UR-FE V8 petrol or 4.5L 1VD-FTV V8 diesel, 2007-on) with this heavy-duty replacement from Machter Auto Parts. Direct fit for the rear lower lateral control arm – fixes rear-end squirm, loose handling, axle misalignment, tyre rub or vibrations after high mileage, towing heavy trailers, off-road abuse or years of corrugations, gravel and heat in Australia.
Key Features
- Single rear lower control arm (specify LH or RH when ordering) – complete ready-to-install unit
- Direct bolt-on fit for 2007-current Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200 / VDJ200 all variants)
- High-strength steel construction – thicker and reinforced compared to factory for added rigidity
- Matte black powder coat finish – rust-resistant and low-glare for off-road use
- Pre-installed high-density polyurethane or rubber bushings – greaseable, long-lasting and reduced deflection
- Precision-welded end fittings – maintain correct length and geometry for proper alignment
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket rear coils, shocks, sway bars and trailing arm mounts
Benefits
- Eliminates clunks & rear-end play – tighter, more planted handling on gravel & corrugations
- Restores correct axle alignment – reduces tyre wear, improves stability when loaded or towing
- Stronger than worn factory arm – handles heavy towing, rock crawling or high-speed dirt roads
- Prevents further damage – stops stress on diff, U-joints, bushings and trailing arm mounts
- Essential for roadworthy & safety – bent or rusted arms can fail inspection in NSW
- Great for high-mileage work rigs, off-road builds or resto projects – brings rear suspension back to solid
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for 2007-current Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200 petrol, VDJ200 diesel) – rear lower control arm (lateral type)
- Professional installation recommended – torque bushings/bolts to spec, re-align vehicle and test drive
- Replace both sides together – worn arms cause uneven handling and wear
- Inspect upper arms, panhard rod, shocks, sway bar links & diff mounts while replacing – common to do a full rear suspension refresh
- May require alignment after install – especially if lifted or running larger tyres

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a worn or failing rear lower control arm?
The most frequent symptom is a prominent clunking, thumping, or snapping noise from the rear end when accelerating, braking, or shifting gears. Worn internal bushings also cause the rear axle to shift slightly under load, resulting in an unstable "rear-wheel steering" effect, vehicle wandering on the highway, or unusual rear tyre wear patterns.
Does this control arm come with the rubber bushings pre-installed?
Yes, this is a complete heavy-duty replacement assembly that comes pre-fitted with high-quality, durable pivot bushings. Replacing the entire structural arm is highly recommended over pressing out old bushings, as factory arms can twist or ovalize over time, and a complete assembly significantly reduces workshop installation time.
Is this rear lower arm interchangeable between the left and right sides?
Yes. On the 5-link live rear axle configuration of the 200 Series LandCruiser, the rear trailing lower control arms feature a symmetrical design. This means the same part number fits perfectly on either the Left-Hand Side (LHS) or Right-Hand Side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Will this fit turbo-diesel models, or only the 5.7L V8 petrol?
While the listing highlights the 5.7L V8 engine configuration (found in overseas or specific domestic trims), the underlying chassis and rear 5-link live axle suspension architecture remain identical across the entire 200 Series family. This arm will fit all 200 Series models from 2007 onwards, including the 4.5L twin-turbo diesel (VDJ200) and 4.7L/4.6L V8 petrol engines (UZJ200/URJ200).
Is a wheel alignment needed after changing the rear lower control arms?
Although the 200 Series features a solid rear axle layout with fixed geometric track measurements, getting a full four-wheel alignment is still strongly recommended. Replacing worn suspension trailing arms alters the axle alignment relative to the chassis centerline. An alignment ensures your rear axle tracks perfectly straight and square behind the front wheels, preserving handling safety and tyre longevity.
