went to test drive the 1999 gs300 i have my eyes on, everything seems fine front to back however when i got on the freeway and got her around 55 to 60 mph i could feel a little shake in the stearing wheel.....what do you think can be the cause of this?

 

Front wheels are out of balance.

 

Sosa,

It's a very common problem with the GS, especially those with 17" wheels. Most solve it with a good alignment & balance with the appropriate torque on the lug nuts when wheels are re-installed.

Try the search feature if you want more information .

 

cool that is not that big of an issue........thank you

 

there was also a orange warning light on of a car with two lines coming out of back on each side...what does that light mean? thanks,
sosa

 

VSC- was it on constantly, or only when you were giving it the boot?

 

mean your tires were slipping while driving...

 

yes the light was constantly on.

 

and the steering wheel pretensioner might be the problem too

 

you turned it off before driving? the botton is right below the shift plate area.

 

Well if the amber "car with squigley lines behind it" was constantly on you have a issue, when you disable the VSC (button that Rominl is talking about), amber TEXT pops ups that says "VSC OFF" or something like that!

BTW- is that Halle Berry and Billy Bon in your Avatar??

 

Aside from possible out of balance (likely), one of the front wheels may be a little bent. Have it balanced by a Hunter GSP9700 machine for best results.

 

I drove it again last night. I disabled the VSC swich however the light remained on for the whole drive.

about by avatar I dont think its Halle, I dont know who it is I just this its pretty dam funny!
