What's up everyone I have an 01 GS430 with about 140k. Lately I noticed when I take off hard from a stop sometimes I feel the rear wheels shaking and lose traction and sometimes it feels like the wheels loose traction individually. I also noticed this happened after driving with my VCS OFF for a while because it drove so much faster I was kind of abusing it driving it sort of hard doing a lot of fast take offs. But now I leave my vsc on always and it does it still. Did I mess anything up is it the tranny? Someone help me out please. Thanks !!!!

Tires are basically brand new so it can't be that.

I don't think I'll be much help but maybe we can get some more info. to help someone give ideas. Are you on stock suspension? Could suspension components or bushings possibly be worn? Sway bar?

Just taking some shots in the dark, maybe it'll help.

I'm not positive but I have a fair knowledge of things like this. 01' GS430s do use rear differential and they are more prone to damage when driving with VSC off.. But even still they're very durable. Judging on the way you describe your issue, your very heavy footed/reckless behind the wheel. The consequeces to these actions are cold but true. MANY things can be wrong. Tranny skips are subject to after mistreating car by bad takeoffs. If you swerve thru corners allot and slide the car allot around corners (FISHTAILIN') yes the rear takes damage. Suspension wise, tire thread, and even yes Rear Differential issues as well. These cars are very heavy. And even tho they may feel very sturdy, they do suffer like any other car. My best advice to you my friend is to treat your car better firstly. Secondly, take it to a good local alignment shop. Talk to your mechanic assigned to work on your car, get on his good side, and tell him to please carefully review the rear components of the car. Explain to them exactly what you experience when operating vehicle. Good luck, I hope your issue is resolved asap!!
