this is what it looks like put on.
Today was the first day i actually drove my car to work since i put on the new links. the drive was much quieter than before. no more clunks or clacks or clicks. I'm not as embarrassed about driving my car by people anymore lol.

The damnedest thing happened, I noticed my front end link for my sway bar was about to unscrew itself all the way from the LCA, so I tightened to down, and now the car makes a popping sound like non damn stop when going over bumps or when the suspension compresses from the front of the car. I saw the thread about re-torquing the sub frame to 90ftlbs but that didn't make a difference on it. Do the end links wear out and cause this, or would worn sway bar bushings cause this?
Checked:
Ball joints - good
Tie Rods- good/replaced 1 with new unit
LCA Bushings- good

Probably tighten them more. I had the same problem, thought I tightened them enough, but nope. It was popping a little over bumps and luckily one of my shop friends found the problem. He tightened it more and noise dissapeared. If I had taken it to Lexus I would have been spending probably over a g cause they'll most likely tell me to replace my control arms, Lol.. That's like the stepping stone to diagnose suspension problems for them.

Also going to be replacing mine... MOOG
I have a very minor "clink" going over bumps at slow speed.
Caster arms, balljoints, rack bushings, tie rod ends, and new coilovers had no affect on that (but they did solve my steering wheel shimmy)

My 2008 rx350, only when it's 58 degrees cold outside makes a popping sound when turning left, or when I come out of my driveway which has an elevation. The strut mounts were replaced but still makes same sound. It had 82000 miles and under warranty. The sound is really bothering me. I think Lexus dealership here thinks I'm crazy. Anyone help please!!!

I changed my front lower ball joints (Moog) and front (Moog) and rear end links (Evotech) on my 07 GS450h, everything was good for about 8k, but now I hear a pop sometimes and rattles from the front and back, greased the Moog and Evotech bushings didnt helpt too much, I am thinking the bolts are not tight enough???
I already checked the 3 front shock tower bolts and retorqued them to 49 lbs.
