Shocks
My ls600hl front end bounces after hitting a bump. Tried different modes no help. Control arms are good .should I look at the shocks?

That would be a reasonable assumption.
check for fluid leaks.
How many miles ?

Shocks would be the only reason for this. Since yours are air shocks, it will be an expensive fix. Your only option will be replacing them....either with air replacements or converting to coil-overs.

If the same part for the 460 you can source rebuilt or used for about 1/2 or 1/3 the price of new.

I've had several cars with air suspensions and I've never heard of having the air shock rebuilt but I guess it's possible.

Spend $995 on BC coil overs and get rid of the air all together.
