Default suspension problem

have a 95 ls 4oo , its rattling and cluncking while I back up or make a turn also it pulls to the side when I catch a hole. I replace control arms, ball joints, outer tie rods, the links on both side the problem goes away for a day or two then its back. also did front and back brake.

Welcome to club lexus....
did someone advise you to replace those parts? who, why? who done the work?
how many miles on the car, and how long have you had it? Is this your first Lexus?
have you done a search of others members post that had like problems?

Did you inspect/replace the strut rods? Lower control arms basically. Huge failure point in LS's.
