Default TSB question andd rear suspension

ok so i have a 2006 is250

it has been making a clicking or clunking noise more frequently recently when shifting from park to reverse. also sometimes makes a noise when accelerating from a stop especially at WOT. i did some research and saw this could be due to the rear suspension and/or brake actuator(?) also saw there were TSBs for both of these but I'm out of warranty. wondering if it will be free like a recall or I'll have to pay.. if i have to pay i am going to complain i bought the car used out of warranty does lexus not care about owners like me?

i would call my dealer and ask but im trying to save myself the 15 minute headache of being uselessly transferred 5 times

Thanks guys

To save yourself $$$, narrow down to where exactly the noise is coming from.

I recently had an odd knock/clunk sound coming from the rear of my car when hitting bumps/holes/uneven surfaces in the road. Narrowed it down to the driver's side rear shock having done bad. Easy fix...in fact, I did mine today in 2 hrs. BC coilovers.
