UCA problem
Hey guys I have a 2000 lexus gs400. I need to replace my upper control arms both the right and the left side. I was wondering if you guys can help me with some good websites to buy the UCAs, thanks

Ok i'll try to explain.. I took my car to 4 different repair shops and 2 of them looked at my car and said i needed to replace my UCA after they checked it out. The other 2 places did not see anything wrong with it. The thing is everytime I go up my driveway it makes a pretty noticeable sound when the front wheels hit the steep driveway. It happens everytime i go up something steep but not speed bumps. I'm pretty sure it's because im driving straight when i drive over speed bumps but for driveway i have to turn the wheel and that's what also contribute to the sound. Weird? I know. Its not the balljoint because it used to make another sound but its gone since i replaced the balljoints about 6 months ago.

No it's not lowered, pretty much bone stock. But I have 20' crome rims, it came with the car when i brought it so im guessing it's taking a toll on the suspension. See I don't know whether it really is an UCAs problem or the other 2 repair shops are just trying to scare me into fixing it.
