2007 LS 460 Front End Issues
I have a 2007 LS 460 with 136K miles. Just started having front end issues, first upper and lower controls arms, next struts now driver side wheel bearing. Has anyone else had these same problems all happening around the same time? Upper control arms are the most expensive. Also, anyone have a place to buy hood lift supports beside dealer?

This forum is key to DIY and general information. Lots of topics have been covered.
But, in regards to your concern...
Control arms are a known issue with the LS. Again, if you search, you will find many options - from replacing full assemblies, to just changing out the bushings.
I just replaced my front struts on my 07 LS with 120k. Went with the KYBs. Found on Ebay for $180 for both.
Read that a few people have replaced bearings, but I think that's not a too common issue.

I did all 8 control arms for a little over $1k including labor, pull up a search. My front strut also went out at 99k miles (KYB $202 for both), did not face a wheel bearing issue. However these are common wear items on a lexus hope you don't go to a dealer to have them charge $5k to repair...
