Default Looking for a good mechanic or shop in the 626

Hi everyone , my 2000 gs300 has the "famous" rear suspension squeak,
it is known to be the rear knuckle bushing.

Figgs makes the bushing, because it cant be found anywhere else unless you buy the knuckle.

Im looking where to go to get this problem inspected
and fixed.
I know some shops will not install parts other than their own for warranty purposes. If that's the case they will want to sell me the whole knuckle..


Any lexus tech or shop u guys trust?
If in the 626 area better

Im looking for a good shop in the 626 as well for regular maintenance, I used to go to Tommy near El Monte, excellent work but he recently told me he didn't do maintenance anymore. maybe he will look at your GS's problem since it technically isn't maintenance...Good luck!

I literally have the same problem with my is350 and im working with figs to finalize the bearing for 2is. Id recommend buying the part if you know its the problem and looking for either a race/track shop or an alignment frame specific shop to press it in. Based on the diy from figs, its really straightforward and can be done in the garage with a rented tool from autozone.

Yeah, a good shop that will press it in would be scotty's mufflers on baldwin near lower azusa. They helped press in my bushings for my sc300. But there are other shops out there.
