I own a 2004 LS 430. She's my mobile office and just broke 180k. I was going to trade up to a 469 but have decided to hold tight for another 100k. I have a few issues and hope you can help.

1) front end has a loose feeling while driving over cobblestone or gravel. Any idea what is going bad?

2) my drivers seat cushion is tired and needs the interior foam replaced. Best source for part?

3). Best source for drivers door lock actuator?

Thanks so much!

 

Have you ever had any suspension parts or bushings replaced? A great place for parts is Sewell Lexus as long as you register for the Club Lexus discount.

Some parts are rather pricey but they should have fairly large inventory of used Lexus parts. The website is incomplete so calling them is the best way.

good candidates:

● upper control arms
● lower ball joints
● lower control arm bushings
● inner & outer tie rod ends

replacing all of these will make you think you are driving a new car!

you don't need a part, you need an auto upholstery shop, Mexicans are awesome with this kind of finesse upholstery, so take a peek in back and see who is fixing the seats.

check the prices at:

Carson Toyota
Lexus of South Atlanta
Lexus Parts Now
Park Place Lexus
Sewell Lexus
Longo Lexus
JM Lexus


on all of these things I mention in this post, get the genuine Toyota part, no Autozone or other aftermarket parts store crap, if you want it to drive like an LS430 should!
