msLexus2 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've looked everywhere to find an upper Front Strut Bar for the 2001 ES300. Does anyone know where I can get one? Also, Looking to upgrade front and rear struts. What is the best for a nice tight ride but not too much bump? Cost? Anyone selling? One small problem I've noticed when I bought this car last month (has 49K miles). When it is cold and I shift from N->D it has a hard shift. After about 5 minutes of driving, no problem. This doesn't happen from P->R. Any one know what might be the problem? It sort of idles a bit high when I just start it and it is cold. 1500 to 1800 RPM, after it settles down to the normal temperature then it has a 800 rpm and there is no more hard shift. So I can only say it is becaue the idle is too high. I thougth there was some thing that would lower the idle when the shifter moves. I asked the Lexus dealer and they said that there is nothing wrong with it. I just can't imagine Lexus give a car a hard shift. Might be some sensor that is not working but no error codes were recovered. My guess is that something is plugged, like some vacuum line or something.

SAFRO.COM Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have KYB's, they ride nice, are affordable, but make sure they have the electronic ride control if you have the feature that allows you to switch from sport to comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
