On another note, my steering feels kind of tight

Don't want to send you running and screaming in the other direction, but just some heads up.
Also what part of NY are you?
I wanna start changing these parts in the next few weeks Upper control arms, Sway bar bushings, Lower control arms OR the bushings, caster arms, Ball Joints, Inner and outer tie rods.. Where should i purchase these parts for a good price????? I check Sewell and they are very expensive IMO. Should i get these parts at our local part store???? Help

I've bought MOOG ball joints from Arch parts locally, sometimes you can make a deal if you pay in cash. You can try Rockauto.com for the other stuff.

Arch is the best place to go to. You can also try GB500 on foster ave.

Congrats, car looks real clean. Im also in NY and in the process of doing a suspension refresh. Bought the caster arms from Sewell and MOOG ball joints from Woodside auto parts in queens. Not sure if you already know but if you create an account with Sewell and mention club lexus you get a discount.
