I had another post long ago about this. If you look under the car you can see that it rusts because a hose directs the AC condensation directly onto it. Incredibly poor design, worse than the starter on the GS400. Mine has now completely rusted through.

I take it your GS isn't that low or live somewhere where the roads are smooth?
