Sounds like that's where you need to start...it should not be bouncing...also inspect the arm that connects to the AFS sensor at the rear of the car....they are known to fail.

Sounds like your shocks are going out or gone. I had the same issue, ordered coilovers and now my GS430 rides like a dream.

the cheapest place is south atlanta lexus parts online and its like $280 each I think. Google it.

In my opinion, the coilovers ride much better than stock even with the AVS.
