Default went for road force balance.

i went for a road force balance and the guy said that all 4 of my tires are bad. not bad bad but he said that the machine couldn't road force one of them and the other 3 kept on showing a red mark as if there was something in the tire. he checked inside and there was nothing but he did point out to me where the machines detected it. i believe its the way i stored my stocks in the garage that might of cause that to the tires and the reason i was probably getting vibrations.

I noticed that my car is very temperamental to vibrations from the wheels and tires (temperature, tire pressure and balancing).

Overall, the GS has the most lousiest steering system design of any car ever. It vibrates unnecessarily to different road conditions, temp, tires, and wheels. I am glad to be rid of this car in 4 months at end of lease. Lexus are flimsy cars in my opinion after owning 6 of the. None of the cars vibrate like the GS does. Unacceptable.

That Sux!

For how much I've beaten the crap out of mine, its been great for what was expected but mine is a RWD, I think Lexus is built way better than some other brands of car, goodluck though!
