May need new front struts. Any ideas ???
I noticed a rattle up front on the right side the other day on the way home. It sounds like a strut to me. I'm taking it to one of the dealerships I do business with tomorrow to put it up on the lift and check it out.
I don't want to get crazy with high performance suspension. Who makes a strut that will enhance the performance a bit without sacrificing too much comfort ? The car is a 2003 LS430 Custom Luxury with 18" wheels and 245/45/18 tires.
It has 96,000 miles on it, so I'll probably end up replacing the fronts and rears while I'm at it. Where is a good place to find the struts/
shocks ?
Thanks,
James

No. It's a rattle not a vibration. It happens rolling through a parking lot and hitting a pothole or speed bump.
I didn't get a chance to look at it today, but will tomorrow. Please leave any info you can on shock/strut sources.
Thanks, James

rattle
I have the same problem in my left front - It is still under warranty, so I am hoping Lexus covers it.
One more thing, anyone else feel that the seats are uncomfortable? I have a 04 ls with luxury. The seats in the 98 ls I had seemed much more comfortable. FYI, I am 6'1" 185lbs. Just wondering what others think of seat comfort.
