LDR430

I got a flat tire about a month ago & thought nothing of it... change my back 2 tires & I should be fine, right? Wrong. After I replaced them, the car shook violently at 45-60 mph. I called Lexus & they said that it was a balancing problem since it only shook when I drove certain speeds.

So I had it balanced & alligned. Then changed my front brakes... still shakes... not so violent anymore, but it still shakes nonetheless. Nobody knows what it is. I should probably mention that it's lowered with 20" wheels, but I've never had a problem before the flat. Any help???

A rock hit mine as well & Lexus wanted to charge me $1700 to replace it. I had a glass shop do it for me, OEM with rain sensor, for only $250.

Anyone has the ML Subwoofer spec for 06? I would like to get a little more boom out of it and don't want to go too crazy on it. I wonder if I need to replace the woofer with a new amp or just a new amp to give it a little more boom.

I don't have the specs, but I'm pretty sure that if you change the amp, the woofer will blow. I just took mine out & hooked up 2 x 12" JL's. If you don't want to go too crazy, I'd suggest finding an open-air 8" sub.

I have my stock subs from my '97 LS & my '98 LS... $20 + shipping if you guys are still looking... it's just taking up space.

Either I haven't been paying attention to the scene, or this hasn't hit So Cal yet. I'll have to try it out & spread the word. :)

Does anyone know how to lower a 2001 LS430 with air suspension??? I've had people do it for me 2 different ways before.

1. Manually releasing the air from the air suspension controller & lowering each corner one by one.

2. Tapping into the wires that control the air suspension & possibly reversing the power with a power probe.

The first way can take up to two hours if you don't get a grip on the hose & it slips out of your fingers (it's very small) & you release too much air. The second way can be as quick as 5 minutes. The problem is, the guy that knows how to do it the second way charges me to do it each time. The wires he tapped into are still there, but I have no idea how he gets it to go down. I know you need to remove the relay for the air suspension, but what do I do next? Does anybody out there know? I would keep it at just one height, but my air suspension somehow leaks air slowly & over time, usually a period of a month or so, & I will have to raise it again as it starts to rub.
