07 Ls 460 Vibration

[bigmike]

So let me start by saying it is an honor to be browsing this website as an owner instead of a window shopper.

A little history

I took it in to Charles barker Lexus (our dealer here) and they said the water pump was leaking $698, the front struts were totally blown out $1708, and the 2 belt tensioners had some free play$844.

Got the dealership I purchased from to pay for the water pump but they would not cover the struts because they said the car pass inspection so they don't believe they are damaged.

Got and independent shop to replace the front struts with kyb 551122 for $400 parts and labor. While they were under the car they said the upper and lower control arms looked newer as if they were replaced recently

Got all wheels balanced at a little small used tire shop small change. The vibration that started at 60mph now starts at 65.

Question is are all tire balancers created equally?
