I had the dealer replaced my front lower balljoints yesterday because I was having some clunking noise when going on bumps and when I turn at slow speed. What a difference, no more noise and my steering wheel felt tighter.

 

Yes, I just did the same thing. Actually, a lot of the members have, check out the extensive thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...2&page=1&pp=15 . I was thinking about changing the upper ***** joints myself...eventually.

 

Just the ball joints? What about the tie rod?
