  1. I have brand new, in box:

         - Moog ES80291 Tie Rod End

         - Moog ES80290 Tie Rod End

         - Beck Arnley 101-4897 Stabilizer Link

         - Beck Arnley 101-4898 Stabilizer Link

         - MOOG K500213 Suspension Ball Joint

         - MOOG K500214 Suspension Ball Joint

    I will match Amazon prices and eat the shipping (within continental U.S.).

    I ordered these parts for my car but did not realize that I didn't need them until it was too late to return them.  I'm just trying to get most of my money back.

    Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, or Z-cash accepted in addition to Paypal, Venmo, or Western Union.

  2. I recently purchased a '00 LS400.  It is my first Lexus and I am very happy with it, overall.  As with any 17yo car, it needs a little work.  I have used similar forums for experienced advice when working on other cars I have had and I hope that this will be as useful and informative.

    The main issue I am having now is a clunk/rattle from the front end going over uneven pavement and occasionally under braking.  It drives straight and only has a slight steering wheel vibration around 60mph.  Once in a while I hear a pop when turning at low speed.  In addition to help with diagnosing this noise, I would appreciate some tips on which aftermarket suspension components I should use for increased performance with little compromised comfort.  Are there recommended configurations for suspension upgrades?  For example, in the BMW world H&R race springs are frequently combined with Koni adjustable shocks.

    Additionally, there is a persistent whine from the power steering pump.  The fluid looked good but a little low when I bought it.  I topped it off with ATF and some Lucas transmission additive.  I guess the pump may just be wearing out but it may also be possible that this is a problem another member has experienced that has a different/cheaper fix.

    I have no overhead cab lighting when the doors are opened or when the switch is engaged.

    The LCD on the clock/radio controls is going out.  If anyone knows where to buy a used one for cheap, the details would be much appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance to any that are able to provide advice.  I look forward to getting enough experience with this car to pay it forward in the future.
