Good day everybody,,

can any body help PLS, i need to download the manual cuz i bought my car from america, and there is no manual,

it's ls430, 2003,,

If the odo meter is not working, does your speedometer work? If it does not, maybe worth to check the speed sensor around the transmission housing. Autozone sells these speed sensors

Happy New Year (and Decade) to all owners and their LS ;)

How long ago was the battery change?

If there is something wrong with the alternator, you would have run solely from the battery and that doesn't last long

Possibility that one or both of the wipers have the lock nut loose ! That;s the nut that is screwed the arm to the wiper motor

For all you guys explaining this, if ya'll look like Marisa Tomei, then I will believe you !!!

How's the economy turmoil over there ?

Depends on whether you want to keep the car. These items are wear and tear items !!!!

I second the suggestion that it can be the starter !

Yes.

Have fun and good luck !

u better change the knock sensors while u r in there

Where are the knock sensors located? Are they the ones with wires connected to them on the left and right of the V-engine?

I have 2 front top mounts complete with mounts, caps, rubber covers... bought new in box from Lexus of Pembroke Florida. How much you prepare to pay (including shipping)?

Hi friends, i have a 99 ls400 with about 67,000mile, notice for past couple of weeks, sometime when i want to start it nothing happen, then retry and she starts right away, it only happen every once in a while, but most time it starts on first turn of key. Anyone know what it is?

thanks,

My 1991 engine and tranny mounts NEEDED to be replaced

Now the car is SMOOOOOOTH !

Please don't call the LS a 'monster' !

Hi,

I hope I am right: If you look at the valley where the starter sits in my car and the overall appearance of the top engine, I can only see dust ie. it is in good condition?

Finally taking the plunge !

Sam on my 91 LS400. DEFINITELY the speed sensor attached to the transmission. Some said that the part from Autozone worked but when I bought (and returned), it looked diferent (2 instead of 3 prong ?)

Thanks a bunch !

I will check that hose. Is it easy to replace?

VH

Hi,

Good job !

My 91 LS400 has a leak (I keep recharging it with 1 to 1.5 can of 134). How do I go about checking for leaks (esp. where !)

TIA

Hi,

How easy is it to change the 2 front upper strut assembly (cap, insulator, etc..) for 91 LS400? Reason I ask is that the tech who was going to do it (at auto shop after hours) got laid off :( This is after I bought all parts from dealer

TIA

I volunteer to donate blood to IS400 B)

Thanks Glenmore for your advice.

Yup! I paid dearly ($250) for NOT changing the latest parts mentioned (the mechanic said they were ok back then and I also did not have the current 'sound like a stone hitting the wheel well when over a big bump'. From the top, to me, they do look worn :( eg. looking frayed and discolored. When we bounce the car up and down strongly, there is a clunking from up top when we look from underneath of car (when car is on hoist).

Anyhow, I ordered from Lexus from Pembroke Pines (Fla) and also 2 engine mounts and 1 rear (trans) mount today. Pocket burnt a bit ($550 all up)

From Glenmore:

You can probably reuse your old caps unless they are missing. They are not wear items.

KYB strut mounts are about $50 each on ebay and are pretty much OEM quality.

Bumpers and insulators are dealer only. These prices are outrageous but the dealers got you.

When you changed shocks a year ago, did you notice the condition of the mounts, bumpers and insulators? That was your chance to replace them. Now you get to do the ENTIRE repair again.

Describe your symptoms again. New bumpers won't solve anything. Only there in case of severe bottoming of car. Unless the pad part of your old insulators were in tatters when you reused them and they have since disintegrated , new ones won't make a difference either. Cap is cosmetic. Broken shock mounts can cause clunking. Other parts that may need replacing, sway bar bushings, UCA, strut cushions.

No, I just mentioned the parts already replaced. To be replaced are the upper assembly that goes over the shock and inside the spring !

Are you saying you plan to install new shocks again less than 1 year later? That can't be right.

There is some discussion in this forum about bushings in front end. Maybe want to look into that before you do a do over.

Hi,

My son's 91 LS400 recently developed stone-pinging-inwheel-well sounds. We replaced last winter both front shocks and lower ball joints.
