Rear Trailing Arm Bush Kit (4-Piece) – Toyota LandCruiser 80 & 105 Series
Stop rear-end clunks, loose handling, axle wrap, wandering and poor stability on your Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81 1990-1997) or 105 Series (HZJ105 1998-2007) with this 4-piece rear trailing arm bush kit from Machter Auto Parts. Replaces the cracked, perished or collapsed factory rubber bushes in the rear lower & upper trailing arms – restores tight axle location, reduces driveline slop and improves ride quality for work rigs, lifted trucks, tourers or daily drivers that feel vague or noisy on corrugations, gravel or highways in Australia.
Kit Includes
- 4 × rear trailing arm bushes (polyurethane) – covers both lower & upper arms (left + right)
- High-density polyurethane material – firmer than OEM rubber, resists compression set and heat
- Steel sleeves & washers – maintains correct spacing and load distribution
- Grease tubes & installation instructions – for easy press-in and future service
Benefits
- Kills clunks & vibrations – tighter, quieter rear suspension over bumps & rough roads
- Reduces axle wrap & driveline play – better power transfer and less U-joint stress
- Improved handling & stability – less squirm when loaded, towing or cornering
- Longer life than factory rubber – polyurethane won't squash or degrade over time
- Essential for high-mileage or lifted 80/105 Series – fixes common bush failure symptoms
- Great value upgrade – transforms rear-end feel without full arm replacement
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997) and 105 Series (1998-2007) solid rear axle models
- Professional installation recommended – press bushes in/out (use bushing press or tool), grease during assembly and torque arm bolts to spec
- Replace all 4 bushes together – old rubber wears unevenly and causes handling imbalance
- Inspect trailing arms, panhard rod, shocks & diff mounts while disassembled – common to do full rear suspension refresh
- May slightly stiffen ride – poly is firmer than OEM rubber (good for control, noticeable on rough roads)

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my rear trailing arm bushes are worn?
Common symptoms include a "clunking" sound when accelerating or braking, vague or wandering steering, and unstable handling when cornering. Visually, you may see cracks, perishing, or excessive movement when inspecting the rubber bushings where the trailing arms attach to the chassis or axle housing.
Why is this sold as a 4-piece set?
The 80 and 105 Series rear suspension utilizes two trailing arms, each with two mounting points. To maintain balanced suspension geometry, it is critical to replace all four bushings at once. Replacing them partially can lead to uneven suspension loading and accelerated wear on the remaining old bushes.
Are these suitable for lifted vehicles?
These are high-quality replacement bushes designed to fit the factory trailing arms. If you are running a significant suspension lift (e.g., 3 inches or more), your trailing arm geometry may be altered. While these will fit the arms, you may eventually consider "offset" or "correction" style bushes to restore perfect pinion angles, but for standard replacements, these are the ideal choice.
Is this a difficult DIY installation?
Replacing these bushings can be challenging for a home mechanic. It involves removing the trailing arms from the vehicle and then pressing out the old, seized rubber bushings and pressing in the new ones. Having access to a hydraulic workshop press makes this job significantly easier and safer than trying to remove them manually.
How do polyurethane vs. rubber bushes compare?
Rubber bushes (as supplied in this set) are chosen for their ability to absorb road noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), providing a smooth, factory-like ride quality. Polyurethane is firmer and longer-lasting but can sometimes transmit more road noise into the cabin. For most LandCruiser owners, these rubber replacements provide the best balance of comfort and longevity.
