can you clear that up for me so I know which one to order and replace first. Thanks
Sorry,meant 234-4623 and 234-4630. I replaced 234-4623. Its after the catalytic converter.that code you got can mean three things:1.bad cat 2.exhaust leak 3.bad 02 sensor. Before making the same expensive mistake like i did replacing the cats,do the sensor first.

Let me guess you have the 17" lexus rims as well with the 235/45/17 tires? if its not the steering rack im GUARANTEEING its the rims and tires because ive experienced this with another car when I changed the rims, i went crazy thinking something was wrong changing everything for nothing meanwhile just putting the stock rims on the car fixed everything. Let me know im curious
yup,brand new rack bushings 6 months ago along with the other new suspension parts.You are spot on dude,i do have the factory chrome 17s on the car with michelin pilot sports a/s.they really make the car look sweet.But why would lexus put these on the car optional from factory if it makes the car ride like crap?

If the cat is rattling, its possible the material inside is broken. Looks like u are gonna need a new cat. Just make sure it had an executive order number that matches with the application

Here are some executive order number that pertains to your application, 2000 GS300.

1. D-562-44
2. D-562-54

They are universal fit. Manufacturer are from Airtek and Valina. They are CA certified legal aftermarket cats. Good luck
