pump brakes a few times to get a hard pedal with motor off. Push brake and start car, brake should sink a little, not go to floor. Stop car and wait about 30 seconds. push brakes again, you should feel the assist, ie. it should go down a few like you were idling. If it doesnt, you have a leak somewhewre, it could be as simple as the vacuum one way valve thats pushed into the brake booster, a cheap part to fix. It could be an air pocket somewhere but if you bled them that is not likely. Sometimes you can hear a brake booster hissing when you put the brakes on. a booster is not that hard to replace, just getting it in and out may be a hassle. I did my Suburbans for less than 120 bucks but that was a truck...with a large engine compartment. Hardest part was getting the nuts loose behind the dash. Hi, What is that part called exactly? I believe I need that part, but have heard different names. Thanks.

dashan, I bought the front strut rod bushings. I'm still looking for that "magical" mechanic. You can just look on ebay and search for lexus ls400 bushing. LPDauto was where I got my bushings from. Jason from LPD can get you any bushing for the car, providing that they are available from the manufacturer. You will be surprise of all the polyurethane bushings that are available for the car from Jason. If you order something from him, just mention that Edward from New York says hi. Good Luck.

Hello Everyone, I'm located in New York City and would like to find someone in the area (or at least somewhere nearby...tristate might be ok as well) who can change bushings. I am looking to change all the bushings to polyurethane for my 1996 LS. I can drive and wait. It doesn't matter, just as long the job is done right. It is just not reassuring that whomever I ask, they don't know what I'm talking about in regards to changing just the bushings instead of whole arms. PLMK ASAP. Thanks. Edward
