You're not kidding about that! I have that exact same issue whenever I'm backing out and turning. The suspension totally sounds like I'm driving an old muscle car from the late 60s 
But it's crazy and very awesome to see the SC400 to have the very same potential for longevity as any other Toyota/Lexus product from the 90s. After reaching 355,000 Miles on my camry, I'm a firm believer in Toyota quality. Sadly, they don't build them like they used to anymore

As solid as the Toyota's were in the early to mid 90's, today's are built to be even more maintenance and trouble free. Believe what you will, but it's true.

1ZZ-FE/2ZZ-GE engine that was released in 2003 is an oil eating monster. I've seen many of these engines fail after 100k miles due to oil starvation.
2AZ-FE has issues with head bolts coming loose. Granted, some of these engines are known to go the distance, but that doesn't mean you can turn your back on it's flaws.
To add insult to injury, the new 2AR-FE has been experiencing some Cold Start issues with a bad VVT-i Cam Gear. I believe there is a TSB out to try to remedy the problem.
I just hope toyota's engineers get their head out of their asses and design something as solid as the earlier generations of the 5S-FE and 22R. As of right now, I personally don't see newer toyota models replicate the same reliability as their older siblings any time soon.
