Nice, I also have a 92 ls400. These cars are amazing. I have about 234xxx on mine. Just out of curiosity how much did it cost you to replace both of your inner tie rods? And what was the wheel adjustment you did to yours?
Thnks in advance

Happy to reply !only wheel adjustment on my end was toe-in then a 64.95 dollar 2 wheel alignment--rear wheel was checked and needed no adjustment.I personally I purchase all my parts from BAP GEON imports auto parts.1-inner tie rod 39.95,right outer t/rod -31.80 plus inner boot kit --15.00.Suggested Price-91.89--73.14--34.50 for all three parts. I was quoted a price of 600.81dollars for repair from a reputable mechanic shop.I was able to do it my self real easy job about one hour an a half total! But that coolant temp sensor was harder to reach ,but well worth it now my car gas miles is better ,pedal pick-up or speed is super.It was 17.41dollars well worth the money,My car needed it.suggested price was 40.00 dollars. Forgive me for running on an on but I just LOVE this SITE.LEXUS FORUM!!!!

Sounds good, Ive only owned this car for 1 year and currently my daily driver. Once I get another car to be my dd I will definitely me less hesitant to tear the ls400 down without the worry of not having a car do get me somewhere in an emergency. The first mod I would do is suspension. Coilovers are what I'm aiming for
