Default ***1998 GS300 suspension noise**

Hello huys and gals im new to this whole Lexus thing and have a question on suspension noise that i here from time to time when driving.

problem: when i drive i notice that theres a high pitch pop noise that comes from the passenger front will when i turn. right at either low to mild speeds. sorta like a spring is poping in and out of the seat on the shock body. we checked the coil-over system and thats fine but im lost to whats going on with this thing. also i can fell the pop in the steering wheel also when the problem starts.


any help would be nice,
thanks again

Check the steering joint by the steering rack and make sure its not blinding. You may need to check your lower ball joint also.

Ding Ding Ding... same thing replaced em bout a two months ago. Lower ball joints suck- but if u dont replace those they could blow and think about your suspension just going through your fender!!! dont want that.
