weird noise from RF suspension
I have a first generation LS400 (without air ride) and I have a problem with my front right suspension. The problem is when i go over speed bump slowly i can hear weird noise when the front wheels is goes up and down over the bump. It is hard for me to explain the sound. I don't know what it is but I suspect the bushings is bad. Has anyone ever have a problem with their car? If anyone have, do you have any ideas how much will it cost to repair?? Is it ok if I don't get it fix (bushings)?? And will alignment help?? thank you in advance guys

I had front end noises and I greased the front swaybar bushings and the noises went away. I read on this forum they are a problem on our cars. Worth a shot and not too hard to do.

I have a '92 LS400, that had the same issue (twice) Each time the front A frame which holds the bushing was replaced. It was around $500 each time. I was told that the bushing cannot be replaced by itself, the whole A frame had to be replaced. I am no mechanic, but when I looked at the part, it made sense. Hope this helps.
