Flipped tires. Yae for catching three wheel motion static and burning out and being able to get that new tire feel twice out of them. First run was 5 months or so, next run ought to be about the same.

New GS owner here!

In in the last day, I've Bought a set of Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+, changed a brake light, bought a fog light housing to replace my cracked one, and smogged it. Lol

Got around to changing my sway bar end links and bushings, as well as the power steering rack bushings with the Daizen ones. Now to go cruise and find out if it improves anything!

How hard to get the rear upper arms out?

Mine seem ok, but I have 281k miles..... It was a nightmare doing the rear front arm #2 (toe rod)... I had to cut the bolts, it was rusted to the rod. It took me about 1-2 hours each side. But it handles SOOO much better!

I was affraid most for the upper arms, but those were no problem to get out, bolts were not to excessively tight, and remaining part is easy, someone had done there someting in some past years I think thats why i was lucky
I had same problem with rusted bolts on rear track control rod and rear lower control arm/ suspension ***. arm, cut then and got new bolts form lexus

Took the front bumper off to get her up onto the flatbed. Went into limp mode last night away from home. Got her home now to figure out what's going on.
