Hi Guys new to club
Just bought a 2008 GS450H its done 110000 miles all seemed ok on test drive but I have noticed that when the drive is taken up I get the feeling something is slipping or excessive play in the final drive possable drive shaft or bearings I know the rear shocks need replacing but would not think they would give me this feeling any ideas guys ?

Any one live near to me with a GS450h please drive my car and let me know if this normal for these hybrid drives I live in sunny Blackpool UK I would love to get to the bottom of this its the strangest feeling just as the drive takes off no noise or clunk just a feeling that one of the wheels has slipped then gripped again

Problem almost sorted turns out that the 2 rear diff bushes were shot had them replaced and all seems a lot better but still a little wobble sometimes on setting off it would appear the front diff bushes are also worn but I have been onto Lexus and there are no bushes available so can anyone please help do you guys know of any after market bushes that I can fit
