So even on roads with continuous little ups and downs, my car is continuously bouncing around and won’t settle for a steady ride. A single hump/imperfection will bounce high but settle well. As in the shocks are doing the job but the car is bouncing too high too frequently.

I hope I am making sense. It is a bit difficult to explain. Thanks for your reply and please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Did you ever fix this? I’m starting to not like this car at all and really disappointed in Lexus, as my first Lexus. My Infiniti g37 was miles better in suspension and engine. My A3 that I rented awhile back, its suspension was light years ahead of the Lexus I have now. I’m going to replace my rear shocks and if that’s not it, I’m moving on from the Lexus sport platform.

GSF lower control arm bushings

Does anyone mind sharing their VIN for the GSF?
Went to the dealership they said they need a VIN to be able to order the parts as they don't have any in stock.
Or aftermarket ones that are similar quality?
Thanks

Hi,
The OEM part from dealership is $180 CA, do you know any aftermarket brand that is just as good?

I purchased a pair for about ~$100CAD off ebay (I think it was this seller https://www.ebay.ca/itm/196288318994), had to pay the typical duties. If it's $180 for both bushings then that's a good deal, but if it's individual then just order those off ebay.
