Default man i think my endlinks are done :(

so i had my brakes changed out last month and since then i've been hearing all kinds of noise coming from my suspension when i go over uneven roads. basically its alot of clunking, clanking, rattling banging type of noises that are rather annoying. now the car still rides fine other then the annoying noise and when i'm on even flat roads there is no noise at all. i'm hoping theres no additional damage from driving the car in this state.

so, after reading here and on my.is i gather either my endlinks are dead or my bushings need to be changed? any ideas ppl? does this sound about right?

Getting the same rattling noise on my car as well. Sounds like my right side rear. Guess I'll go visit chad at LXS again and have it checked out unless us 1st gen IS owners can have a "garage day".

Can, can, I provide the place and you can do labor and the others can bring tools. So what Brent, sound like a plan?

that would be fine, except being as i was never that good at troubleshooting mechanical stuffs i'm not exactly sure if the endlinks are done or the bushings are. but, considering what i do know... i'd say endlinks
that being said we'd have to order the parts somewhere... perhaps, carson toyota?
and assuming the endlinks are just remove & replace should be no problem.
except gotta make sure someone has a floor jack with stands, etc. obviously some wrenches, etc would be nice.

oh and i got about 92.xxx on my car.
