It looks like the noise I am experiencing is from my upper ball joint. The dealer wants $488 for this part. ARE THEY CRAZY???? what a rip off. I could by a used car for that much.

Does anyone have any connections that may be able to help me? I would like a gently used one for much cheaper please!!

thanks,

Fred

Mine is a 98 GS400. I haven't called carlson, but I'm sure they are still in the ball park of my dealer, and thats not the ball park that I would like to play in...

I found 1 on Ebay for you in Texas also. Just type in Lexus GS control arm .Don't know if it is OEM tho? It list for a 02-04 GS driver side.

Wow ! thanks Eddy- But now it actually looks like I was wrong - Please check out my other thread -

and see the pics of my LOWER control arm bushing. Do you think it is thrashed? I don't think it is my UPPER anymore after looking close. It seems to be my Lower control arm bushing. THey want $180 something for it at Carlson, but I'm trying to find out how to get a new bushing put in. There must be a substitute bushing that can be pressed in by a machine shop for much cheaper-

OR....can you magically make a new LOWER drivers side control arm appear on E-bay

I don't know how you did that
