Default Another example of Lexus quality

Everybody here knows the extreme quality of our LS models. I took my 1995 LS400 in for a check up today to have the suspension checked. I was looking for an excuse to upgrade to Armstrong urethane bushings. I have 160k miles and the original ball joints and control arms (bushings and all) are still tight! This is just another reason these cars are number one in the world!

You are fortunate...mines getting pretty loose. Only thing left is the upper and lower CA and upper ball joint.

Maybe you could upgrade bushings? Have you heard of the Carson Tuned (Armstrong) urethane bushings available on L-Tuned?

Daizen's are not available yet for 2nd gen - waiting on their response today on the due date. Not sure if they are better than the Armstrong units.

You might have a long wait. I inquired about the same thing back in March....still waiting for a response.

Make sure that they have grease fittings or they will squeak.
