Got them off of rock auto. That's why I wanted to make sure they were the right ones haha. I was originally going to get the beck arnley ones from advance auto for $50 a side

 

What needs to be change when steering response is floating and wandering? Is there an diy f/r end links?

 

damn things look like they would fit the GS...

 

Just purchased a 99 GS300 with little more than 120k miles. Just recently changed tie rods, put on megan ez coilovers on 18x8 wheels with 225/40/18 tires mounted. I believe it is out of the box height of the megans and it is pretty low already. No vibrations after wheels and tie rods were changed, but when i do turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right, i do hear some clicking sounds, is that a sign of ball joints failure? I have a set of ball joints in my trunk, but my mechanic said it is ok and it was the inner tie rods that was causing the vibration/shaking during highway driving. Any advice or opinions on what that clicking sound when turning the wheel all the way on either side may be? Thanks in advance!

 

Check your castor arm bushings aka trailing arm #2 if I recall, those can make the noises as well

 

is the noise consistently sounding off? or does it go away too? Im having from noise coming from the front so i wanna make sure.

 

I have no noise from inside the cabin on my 02 GS300 but the car is shaking a lot on the highway. Wasn't if its because of the balljoint. How can I test it? I lifted the car up and when i look at the passenger side the crown bolt looks caked in old grease. This is whats making me think its the Joint.

 

i understand that you just got the car right? change them.

i had one that showed a sign of wear for 2 days and then it gave out. it made noises on a tuesday and i thought "i'll fix it this weekend" thursday it gave out. ended up costing a lot more than 30 bucks

 

Hey guys, new to the forum.

I actually just picked up a 2000 GS300 and while my front end isn't making noise. I have no ideal if the ball joints have ever been changed.
The car has 207k miles and is lowered on Megans, Wondering if I should order the Moog Lower Ball Joints and replace them.

Anything else I should pay attention suspension wise.

Thanks!

 

If you don't know when the last time they were changed, you should absolutely change them.

 

Also check the caster arm bushings.

 

Thanks! I just found out from the Original owner that they were replaced at 150k miles by Lexus. Car now has 207k, so I may inspect them when I am replacing the rotors, but what do you all think?? The car runs great and no noises..

 

These were also replaced by Lexus at 150k miles, basically most if not all of the suspension wear and tear parts were replaced by Lexus at 150k according to the owner.

 

What brand LBJ's are you guys using/recommending. Going with the Supreme Mevotech UCA's. Maybe i will win the Rock Auto lottery like another CL member did!

 

This is the same as OEM, all others I've tried are varying degrees of crap. Remove the space.
