Default Got 2 different problems with my 99 GS400..Please help!!

1st problem- everytime i roll my window up, it'll go all the way up then come back down about 1/4 of the way. What's up with that?!

2nd problem- my car seems to shake mildly at highway speeds between 60-75 mph..mainly shakes at the front end of the car.

Please help!

1st window regulator

2nd your front wheels tires are bad or just need a balance.

That first issue, does it only happen when you use the auto up? If so, then you need to reset the regulator. As for the second problem, there are tons or write ups on this. Try a little searching.

the 2nd one has probably more to do with either bad ball joints,loose steering rack , control arms, or blown out castor bushings. the easy fix most the time is control bushing kits from TM engineering. it IS possible to be the wheels are bad or need a balance but typically not

search the suspension threads OP
