Meyle UCA and LBJ?
Anyone have any experience with these parts on the GS. I have a 2000 GS and need to replace the upper and lowers and before you say it, I don't have the money for OEM so I am looking for the best aftermarket bang for the buck. Also considering MOOG. Any opinions other than go with OEM?

You defiantly need to investigate what the "oem" parts are. I think you would be surprised how many of the genuine Lexus parts are made by aftermarket companies. I had the moog ball joints and front uca's and I thought they were good. I never got the ones from Lexus though. They are ridiculously expensive for some reason. But on the other hand their wheel bearings are half the price of any auto parts stores brands. It doesn't make sense to me. The only explanation that I could the of would be the quantity they sell determines the price. I see you have been a member since 2002 so I assume you now about the sewell discount correct. Don't forget to do the num 2 bushings. They are by far one of the more important items of your suspension setup.

Did you replaced both the inner and outer tie rods? My front passenger camber changed at 55MPH or higher. Am suspecting either the control arm# 1 or the tie rods itself.
