Default Bad noises coming from my car.

I dont know exactly how to explain it, but I will do my best. When I slowing down I can really hear it, it some noise from the front, I am pretty sure it has to do with the suspension. Anyway, its like a creaking noise, Im fixin to leave and I'll be back in just a little bit, I will get a clip of the noise. Its def. coming from the tire area.
Anyway, I'll be back with a clip in a little bit.

Its a 96 GS300, I have RS-R springs and KYB shocks.

Have the balljoints and A-arms checked for excessive play.

Default More lights for me

well .. for some reason alot of us lexus owner have the same "creaking" noise coming from the front, mine too and it's making noise especially when i'm trying to park the car
( or you could hear it just by turning the wheels while the car is in park )
i went to my mechanic and it turned out the ball joins and tie rod was bad
so i went to lexus dealer to get the parts.. ouchs..
fixed it.. few weeks later it still makes the noise.. this time it's the inner tie rod
went back to the dealer and now.. no more noise.. woo hoo..
hope this help

PS: if it was the ball joints.. go change both of them.. if one goes the other will be soon

Thanks man, I will have to have those checked out. I know one of my Tie rods is bent...just a little, but its the opposite tie rod to where the noise is coming from. Anyway, I will have them checked out and see what Lexus says.
