Easy Fix for bad control arms and joints! It Worked!! Saved thousands!
I saved thousand of dollars! After being diagnosed with the dreaded control arm issue on these cars I had to get creative. All of my upper and lower control arms and joints were shot due to my 2008 having over 210000 miles on it. After getting tired of all the noises i decided to try a cost effective fix. Considering that its just rubber I had to think of a way to replace the rubber in the bushings that had rotten out leaving gaps between the bushings and metal bolts holding the arms on. The solution you wont believe was Flex Shot only cost me $20 and it it fixed all of my issues, will be posting pictures soon, but after driving over 2 days with it has solved all my problems! After jacking up the car and removing the wheel, without even having to remove any parts i just used a hydralic jack to push up the lower control arm and upper control arms to move the front assembly independent of the car and sprayed the flex shot into the gaps! This stuff is really strong and flex shot is made to last for years and it also has to strength as well and has made my bushings like new again! Flex shot is there only product that is suppose to last 30 years! To good to be true I know! I still cant beleivie it! Next I will spray leather spray paint over it protect the rubber from the elements https://www.flexsealproducts.com/product/flex-shot/

That is quite an amazing product video! Keep us updated on the longer-term durability of the product. I believe the product is true to its claims but many of its applications are static. I am curious how this product will truly hold up over time under the stress and conditions of the control arms. Not trying to be negative and it would be amazing if this product stands the test of time. Best of luck with it and thank you for testing it for the rest of us.

Dude, quit spamming this everywhere, I see it in 2 other threads already. Another forum I'm on will ban you for hawking products if you'e not a sponsor so if you like your account here (11 posts in 10 years...) may I suggest you knock it off.

Why don't you post pictures of your LS460, pics of the control arms, pics to show where you have applied the product, and a original diagnoses from a mechanic. If not people are going to doubt the validity of the post, especially when you only have 11 posts so far.
