Default Question on Certified Pre-Owned GS430

Hey everyone...

I have a 2006 GS430 I bought CPO so it has the 100,000 Mile warranty.. When I bought the car I remember them saying the CPO warranty covers everything except "trim pieces."...

I have a clunking noise in the right front I am I pretty sure it is an inner tie rod.. still need to check it out in detail.

Question for you - - Does anyone know if the CPO warranty covers suspension components? My guess is no, they will say suspension is a wear item...

Has anyone had expeirence with inner tie rods going bad on this model?

Thanks in advance..

Default EPS unit

Check to see power steering assembly has been replaced. There was a campaign 9LC to replace EPS unit for the 2006 GS430.

Wow...just checked my history again and looks like 9LC was done in 2009. does that mean the whole rack was changed?

is there a place where I can find out what these numbers mean? 9LB 1LB and so on?

Update on this one.. Check engine light came on last week so I brought it in.. They found exhaust leaks at 2 gaskets & a pin hole in a pipe (17410-50430).... The clunk in the right front was the lower ball joint..

$2,010.24

All replaced & Covered under the CPO warranty.. Great service & support by Lexus
