Well, check your front end suspention for any loozzz parts like ball joints, bushings, i just went thru the same crap, spent 1K (just parts). Suspention have been improved and vibration is gone (almost) need wheel balancing now. If you have any questions EM- good luck

I just got my suspention done, all original parts around $1050.00+ labor Trust me you'll need more than lower and upper ball joints, and re/ upper ball joints you need to replace upper control arm and this is painfull around $350.00 one side( i have paid) Let me know whats up, i'll help you out

So, where did you get it from? I think thats good idea, i'm not sure about shifting but temp (summer) and how much? I'm a litlle broke now, just replaced most of front end suspention, let me know- it might be good investment

:whistles: ← Hey, dude can you post some pic's of your black widow?

That's true,I agree offset is the KEY Ask dealer, you are buying wheels from about fitment Cool? if you need help, we will Get some more info

To all of you with shaking problem: 1. Check your front suspention for any worn parts like: ball joints(lower&upper) 2. Check all bushings(metal/rubber) Whatever you find as loozzzz, replace a.s.a.p Than DO your aligement AND AS LAST CHECK BALANCE ON YOUR FRONT WHEELS, AT LEAST!!!!! YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO IT IN TWO TIRE SHOPS, CUZ SOME OF THEM ARE DOING THAT 2 FAST WASTING YOUR MONEY. KEEP YOUR EYE ON TECHNICIAN (IF YOU CAN) OR JUST ASK ABOUT RESULTS OR PRINT OUT IF AVALIBLE MY$0.02

I got mine '00 GS 400 two months ago (original owner) with 70K on it for $17K and this is what i dicovered by myself doing inspection two weeks ago: 1. Upper control arm (ball joints worned) $360.00 each X2= $720.00 2. Lover control arm assembly ( rubber mounts worned) $136.00 each X2= $272.00 3. Lover ball joint (just worned) $61.00 each X2= $122.00 Total parts= $978.00=$20.00shipping= 1K All parts are new and comes from Lexus Dealer Labor $0.00= My tools and knowledge After all i think investing 1K right after purchase is not that bad, trust me everything what is easy to fix (susp., brakes) it's not a big deal, Engine and Trans - thats another story All i want to say before you make any purchase even from Lexus Dealer inspect SUSPENTION, BRAKES, ENGINE, TRANS., with your friend who knows STUFF Good luck serching for Best "Lexus"

Thank you for help with pics, i forgot that they were taken in HQ about (850Kb) each, i'll try to be more carefull with posting them in future, and how can i resize them since i'm not tech. advanced, thanks - Jake

Yeah, car is i would say 7.5 in 0-10 scale. I'll need some work with front end, lower ball joints are going bad, i'm going to find out how bad suspention is very soon just before i'll put winter wheels back on. Also breaks need to be replaced front/rear. Do you have any sugestions? I used to run PORTERFILED on previous VW JETTA, great pads, but there is a problem with dust(alot), you have to clean wheels every weekend, stains are killer. One more question, regarding sus parts, whats the best place to get them cheaper than dealer, most work on my cars is done by myself Thanks in advance

i know f**kd up with pics, just give me one more try, tomorrow Sorry

Got my '00 GS400 month ago, updated with Tein Flex's and RPM wheels 19x8.5(front) and 19x9.5 (rear). Paid 17K from original owner with 70K on it. Is it good deal?

Got RPM 505 19'' rims, my steering vibrates betwen 50-65mph. Does anyone know where i can get hub rings, that perfectly fits (wheels and hub*) Dealer won't co-op anymore (damn,waisting my time) Called manufacturer and they sent me back to dealer i bought rims from. It bothers me like a M*********R, Need seriuos leads, thanx in advance- Jake "GS400 Built to perfection, by ME " with YOUR HELP

Yeah i have had same problem, your thermostat is going bad bro, get this done before winter cuz you're going to freezzzzz your !Removed!, big time!!! that thing is located almost on top of engine where air box piping meets intake mainfold, don't have any pictures, sold my SC400 3 years ago with same problem at 135,000 miles :whistles:

I don't know about exhaust choice you want to make, but vibration thats what i'm dealing with, and i just got my '00 GS400 with 70,000 miles . From my expirience, problem we have: Worn engine/transmission mounts You have, same issue i do. Unfortunetly you'll have to repace them sooner or later so start saving some money unless you're ok with litlle discomfort. I'm wondering how much it will cost me parts/labor, Do you have any idea? :cries:

to ALL. New car, first post- dont be harsh to me, just got on bright side Previously i have owned '94 SC400 than VW and again Lex, but need some room and GS 400 fits best I'm in process of buying TEIN Flex coilovers and HP EVO's 19x8.5 front/19x9.5 both with +38 offset. I have done some research and i think i can put 5mm wheel spacers (rear) but still not sure about getting those. ANY proven knowledge will be greatly appriciated Thanx in advance-Jake
