Question 2008 LS600 Air Suspension

Got a couple of issues with my ride.
1) A have a rattle or rapping sound from my front struts when going over bumps. The driver side is much louder than the passenger side. I know this is associated with the strut mounts. Is this repairable or do I have to replace the struts?
2) Rear suspension bucks when I go over speed bumps. It actually feels like the rear end jumps and there is a loud thump. Any thoughts

So I have been looking at options.
I have found Arnott makes struts for the rear, but not the front. ~$600/strut and made in the USA. https://www.arnottindustries.com/pro...-left-or-right Anyone have any experience with these struts?
Anyone find an aftermarket for the front that they recommend?
Coil over packages are an option. Any suggestions? Ride Differences?

Forget about arnott. You will lose the 3 way adjustments anyways what's the point.

Go with a brand named China remanufactured or just switch to factory coil and spring parts.

I was told my rear has a broken strut mount I want to see how a fix can be jerry rigged.

Can you please confirm you are not some sort of bot? You make no sense and promote China. Club Lexus is waiting for your response.

I asked questions. Read the response again from JD. Arnott is a LC vendor. If they are so bad why does CL have them as a vendor? And no other answers. As for 1400 posts, most bots have lots of posts.

Just to let you know. I actually took your suggestion, and looked at Chinese parts. Tried numerous chinese vendors on ebay Wolf, AirUsFat, etc. All showed struts available. Once purchased, I got refunds b/c they were "out of stock". Which probably means you talked to the chinese vendors to revoke my purchase! So I went with original parts from the UAE.
