I'm having a problem with a 1993 GS300. It drives well and the front end feels tight but I hear a sound resembling rebounding from the passenger side front. Plus the the rear doesn't feel too stable, it side steps when I drive over large pot holes.

So far I've replaced the 2 front upper control arms, right shock, front sway bar end links and visually checked every bushing from front to back. I've tried searching but haven't found any much.

Any help is appreciated.

I Thought I Was The Only One With This Problem.... I Feels Like Im Skiing When I Hit Potholes And Its Worse On The Highway.... What Could This Be???????

status....

might be bad wheel bearings....

hrm i have an aristo with 90000KM on it and it feels the same, i always though it was ****ty suspension..... (being old and soft)

Raph TT

zazzn,im in the same boat,i bought mine with 91000km and it was cheap because of the suspension woes,so i knew what i was getting into(but had no idea the bits would be that costly lol..oh well)

so far ive bought(but yet to install)

sway bar bushings f+r
endlinks f+r
shocks f+r
tie rod ends
lower ball joints
lower control arms
new lowering springs
new brakes f+r
new wheels (TTE rims ftw!toyota team europe !!)
(im installing all that crap when it gets a wee bit warmer.. brr unheated garage sucks!)

i also found two calipers were sticking, simple fix (just get the new "sliders" from toyota..18 bucks for 4)..that stopped some of the looseness on the road
