a quick heads up regarding the steering rack bushes on the IS200/300

the 2 retaining bolts have a 9mm rolled thread with a 8mm shaft - measured and confirmed with a caliper.

so if you buy the solid aluminium replacement versions they have a 10mm hole so you will have 2mm of play relative to bush and bolt.

this can cause a knocking noise.

the rubber OE bushes have the same internal hole but of course no knocking as the rubber absorbs any forces
