Hey all. I just sold my LS460 which vibrated, steering wheel seats, even at idle. Iv heard the ES350 does that as well. So I was considering a GS as they come in RWD as apparently you dont get that vibration or shake. Do any of you GS owners get shake or vibration in you steering wheel or seats?
I'v got 14k to spend so I didnt include GS350 owners but your feedback is welcome.

 

Have you ever test drove a Tesla or any other EV ? might be better than a ICE if you have both Hyperacusis and Tinnitus.

 

I only have 14k to spend so that would put me back to 2010's, like a Nissan Leaf. I'v thought of it but you also have road noise/vibration and in a dinky car like that its not going to do much for sound proofing. Ultimately a car with electric steering shouldnt vibrate at the steering wheel. And lexus does a good job of sound proofing, something ev cars arnt, well except for Tesla.
Its the hyperacusis thats triggering my tinnitus from vibration I think. What sucks is I cant even drive now, have been stuck here since may. I did however drive a ES350 the other day and still have a spike from it, just 2 miles. It was vibrating a lot however Im thinking motor mounts. I'v heard people with Prius's complain about them being road noisy but Im not convinced as I havent driven in an EV. Some of the dealers will drive out to my house and let me test drive. Maybe I should ask the Toyota dealer.
I just was hoping a GS might be the ticket.

 

I think you have to avoid any car that has low profile tires to start, all Toyota products have some level of noise/vibration and harshness but the right tires will make a huge difference in comfort.
Good luck on your search/

 

You hit the nail on the head. Having my guy look for a LS430 and put 16's on it or the 01-03 come with them.

 

Ok thanks guys thats god to know. On my ls460 it could have been engine mounts or inherent vibration to that model some experienced from day one and dealers told people they just do that. On the hunt now!

 

My 00' GS400 has developed an intermittent, harsh steering wheel shake at 70+mph. These cars are notorious for front end vibrations at speed, if anything falls out of spec.

 

Something like control arm bushings? Tire balance? In spec they shouldnt vibrate however?
