IS350 front end noise- need help identifying
Hey
I have an '09 IS350 w/ 77k miles. recently it has started to develop a dull thud sound from the front end when going over bumps, etc. It sounds like a loose part/ worn bushing, etc. only I'm not able to identify it, nor is my local mechanic. The sound is there, but no apparent drivabality issues (ie: no loose steering, pulling, leaking struts, etc) I could swear I can occasionally feel it in my left foot vibrating from the floorboard. I was wondering if is a common issue with these cars, or if any others out there have experienced this and what to look for. ex: control arm bushing, engine mount, strut bushing, etc...
As mentioned, car is an '09 IS350. all stock except for F-sport sway bars. It's actually my wife's car so it's not even driven hard.
Thanks for any input!
