Hey guys my 1998 GS400
- front is making SQEEEEAKING noises when I go over bumps and stuff - last time I took to the shop they grease the boots or something and it goes away, its shocks or something
- recently in last week there is a loud hard BANG when going fast over like a bump/pothole seems like some suspension is not working at all
- also along with this hard bang lack of suspention when I hit a big RAIN puddle the whole car moves left/right suddently like suspension is getting tossed side to side pretty scary at 100mph
- the steering wheel is also like 20% out of alignment
Everything is stock OEM so wondering what needs replacing ??
If so which parts have you bought are any of the EBAY kits any good or trash?

I replaced my ball joints less than 10k miles ago. But I accidentally burst the rubber boot that houses the grease. Occasionally when I'm reversing and turning the wheel I hear a loud clunk coming from the front left (which is the same front left ball joint whose rubber boot I accidentally burst). When I first burst the boot I filled it with grease until grease started creeping out of the rupture. I fill it every oil change. Just going through the threads here as I want to upgrade to the LS 400 brakes on my GS 400, and seeing these ball joints and hearing about the noises has me a little concerned that my front left ball joint is already shot. I tried to do a quick parking lot look-see if anything else could've been causing the noise but couldn't tell.
