Hey Everyone,

My 2000 GS300 started popping from the drivers side when doing sharp turns (onto side streets and whatnot) and after reading some threads here it sounds like a balljoint issue. I'm going to jack it up and make it my weekend project, I was just wondering if there was anything specific I should look out for that would help confirm what the issue is.

Also this car is nearing 350,000 KM, is there anything else due to be replaced I should look out for? The A/C pump makes a loud clicking noise when the engine is idle but it still blows ice cold so I'm not sure what is up with that.

 

The original owner gave me the entire dealer maintence record, the ball joints were last replaced:

Right Lower ball joint: 251,751KM
Left Lower ball joint: 267,451KM
