Quick update.

I didnt replace the inner tie rods.

I put on a pair of wheels from a forum member on here that were perfectly balanced and my car rides out smooth. However it went crazy on me today once i got on the freeway and started shaking like emily rose but then came back again.

Replace inner tie rods and LCA #2 and report back

veritek

Well, I was gonna ask if you had hub-centric rings on the Axis wheels, like someone else mentioned, or maybe one of the wheels has a small bend that could be throwing off the balance, but since you said it does the same thing with the stockers, and even another member's balanced stock wheels, it sounds like a suspension issue.

It is for sure an issue that has nothing to do with the wheels. I have had the car up in the air numerous times and there is no left or right play at all indicating a loose inner tie rod. However the car does swerve from side to side as i have to keep correcting it while on the freeway. I also hear a clunking noise when going in reverse down my driveway which initialy i thought of it being my LBJ's. However after replacing those noise is still there. As far as the LCA number 2s go is there a way i can buy just the bushings and if is daizen the only place that might have them?

Honestly the way the car is driving is making me not want to drive it at all. Kind of annoying

from what you are saying about it swerving have you tried to change your steering rack bushings? I just did it and it improved steering a lot? Also are you lowered at all? I know you dont want to throw money at it but sometimes thats the only way. There isnt any one set thing to do. Make sure your alignment is good. Ive had it come and go on me and sometimes its the alignment sometimes its the wheel balance. The reason why i ask if you are lowered is because i had a problem when i changed my damper and i guess it was uneven and my car was shaking but when i realized that the dampers were off and fixed them my car rode smoooth again.

Ive heard from a buddy that works at Lexus that the subframe bushings go bad in these pretty easily as well but thats just word of mouth, i myself am also experiensing the shakes but over 75 - 80mph

Do you have a pic of the subframe bushing that u are talking about?

Slydewayz

This is what i found online, if you go onto the link and look at the picture the gs300 has 4 bushings and i was told those tend to go bad.

So i gave up trying to find out what parts are causing the vibes and went ahead and bought a few things.

1 Inner tie rods

2 Daizen control arm bushing kit (which from what ive read comes with caster and lower control arm bushings)

3 sway bar bushings

4 steering rack bushings

5 front wheel bearings

Now if i still get vibes after all this im done with it and i will more than likely take a nice smelly dookie on it.
