Hi All.
First of all. Thanks to all CL members for sharing the info(s) regarding the lower ball joint separation on the 2nd Gen. It scared the living daylight out of me when I saw those pictures and read all those posts. I told the mechanic to replace it today and I meant immediately. LOL. So here is my question. Does the 3rd generation GS 3** have any kind of lower/upper ball joint issues, beside the dashboard rattling? As long as I don't drop the car couple inches low, I wouldn't have any alignment problem, rite? I really like the 2nd Gen. and am I thinking about the 3rd Gen. probably next year, for me to drive of course While she is getting hooked on the 2nd Gen.,

Thanks all.

 

Nope none, dash rattles is a most common problem.

 

And if you get the awd version when you lower it you will encounter the dread wobble and vibration symdrome

 

Yeah it sucks. does anyone know if the Lexus warranty will fix that?

 

If you have the warranty and have not messed with the dash yourself (installed any navi bypass kits..ect) they will fix the rattles. Dealer fixed mine, the car is rattle free for two years now
