Serious resonance issues

An update:
The workorder is being done right now. The rear rubbers and some suspension struds are being relaced. I believe that an ECU update is also part of the work. This seems to be quite a big job. Since I am the first in the Netherlands that gets this done, the work takes a little longer. The car has been at the dealer since wednesday the 3rd and I should get it back on monday. This is what it looks like at the moment:
More to follow on monday.

Sorry, should have done that
I only have the roadforce measurement of the front tires. 35n en 45n. I'll attach a scan of the testresults. These are in Dutch however.

There is also some more development. I asked my dealer what the results were for the recall. He told me it was never done. Which explains why I never felt a difference. Tuesday he needs to go through a "procedure" and after that I can make a new appointment for that.

I don't have those results. Other than the comment that they were better then the front.
For now I'll see what the result of the workorder is. It may be an issue specific to the GS450h F-sport afterall.

hube, I hope this service was finally succesful. I fully understand your feelings since I am the one of little F-Sport owners in Czech Republic. Dealerships aren't experienced with new Lexus models because of low sales numbers in EU. But that's the price for uniqueness between all the bimmers and audis

The worst thing is that the one dealership in Prague is provided by Toyota Louwman and the quality of services is absolutely horrible. I was complaining to the importer Toyota Motor Czech already. Now I am visiting Toyota Tsusho to be more satisfied.
In past the most or every (I'm not sure) Toyota dealerships could sell and service Lexuses which was better for competition between them.
For comparison Netherlands is twice smaller country then CZE (42sqkm vs 79sqkm) but with more inhabitants (16.5 millions vs. 10.5) and you have 9 and we 2 dealerships. It is very probably related to the purchasing power where in Dutch is for sure much higher then here.
How many Audi, BMW or Mercedes dealerships do you have? On the each crossroad like we?

To put it blunt, every idiot that makes a little money buys a Audi, BMW or Merc here. If the boss allows them to lease, they will get the biggest one their budget can afford and cross off all the options. It is quite weird to see the amount of basic 518d's and A6 on the road with steel wheels in the winter. With a guy sitting in there that thinks he's just all that. Untill the GS wipes the smirk off his face that is!
Louwman is the Dutch importer, I have had good contacts and a good experience with them. They own pretty much every dealership of Lexus here and quite a few Toyota's.
Anyway, the resonance is definitely gone. It's a smooth ride now. But somehow they managed to increase the wheelgap. Which I hope will be sorted out:
