I have been hearing or reading about this year car might have bushings or something that can go bad. Kinda wonder what the symtoms are. The reason I ask is my car seems to want to grab the road a little more than usual. Yes that is very vague but after I replaced tires and went to some run flat tires the ride is considerably "rougher". Our roads around me are rather rutted and hard for me to judge against my High Country truck or her GX470 what they do in same spot or road. I guess I am just wondering what I am feeling or over reacting.

Bottom line: What does a LS460 handle like when it has faulty or compromised front bushings or.... any way for me to check (visual, etc.)

THANKS !!

 

I can't tell you if you need control arms/bushings but I can say that run flats will make your suspension feel a lot rougher than without them.

 

Runflat tires are completely unsuitable to be used on an LS, both with normal and pneumatic suspensions. The driving of the car worse in every way, I mounted, (by mistake) a train, and after 900 kilometers I threw them. Suspended with Michelin who gave me back the car that I hooked.

Gentlemen, Google's translation is horrendous ...

 

With my new control arms and these tires I have less body roll. So I'm expecting this to help these bushings last longer. Changed all 8 arms at 68k now at 105 still looking great! Hope this helps.
