    looking to replace the part circled in red. I believe it’s a bump stop on the upper control arm. I think I’ve narrowed it down to Toyota 48305-3502 bumper sub-assembly, front spring. Just want to seek a second opinion from the group before I order them.

    Looks like a body mount to me.

    Agreed, I haven't found any bushings that look similar except that particular part number. The cutout on the frame is also squarish and the bottom of the bushing looks to be the same. So worst case scenario I'll have other parts to replace lol

    I don't think its a body mount, the body isn't sitting on it. Going with the angle of the pic and the different color of metal, holding the bushing my guess would be, if not an oem upper a frame stop mount,then an after market one.

    That is a suspension droop stop. Prevents your control arms from traveling too far down and damaging the shock or the cv axle

    For those who are curious and missing this part it is Toyota 48305-3502 bumper sub-assembly, front spring. I was missing one on the driver side and the one on the passenger side is the one in the picture. So naturally I ordered 2 to replace both and hold onto the one I had for spare parts. Some places say this has been discontinued but they are still available from the dealership. Thankfully my friend there was able to get them relatively cheaply so there's that. Also the new MFG parts do not use the same nut that was one the one I still had. The new ones are M10X1.25 thread pitch. I believe the one I had to be the factory original as it is still a 10mm in diameter but different pitch likely a x1.0. Hope this helps with anyone who needs it.
