There are specific forums for specific cars , under 90% of circumstances they should go in there. The the other times it may fit other places such as ...............

A car is a car and this is not a specific one. Show and Shine Just detailed your car? Post your pictures here, brag about it, fish for compliments, and generally show it off to all the other Lexus owners Wheels and Tires Forums Any tire and rim question belongs here , not in the vehicle forums. Why ? you ask ,because a tire is inherent to its properties , The car it is used on will not make a tire perform better only the other way around. Fitment issues also belong in this area if you are up sizing tires and rims. Dealers & Pricing Forums Forum to discuss and share your experiences with Lexus dealerships So you went to a dealer and they washed your car and fixed your wipers for free and want to tell everyone else how good they are.

Actually only 95 and newer LS 400 wheels will work on his 02 LS 430 as it also has big brakes.

Checking the ball joint only uses a pry bar or large screwdriver to lift the arm away from the joint. This shows if it has wear by moving away. It takes about 10 seconds once the car is in the air to remove load on the wheels.

It means nothing . The solar sensor reads daylight and adjusts the fan to blow to the vents more than the floor to compensate for the sun on your face. I was sure i added this to the tutorial.

An pro inspection is about $200 a proper one from a trained person without getting it on a hoist $100. A basic evaluation for damage and accident/repaint with minor mechanical overview $50-100 depending on work done and experience.

To check a ball joint you need to separate the ball and control arm to check for tolerances or play.

Only the dealer can update your hard drive for the nav.

Hmm , the cheapest way to do the exchange would be to trade your set for someones 16's. That way each of you just pay the shipping.

Sounds like you have the power wire connected to the trunk light somehow.

I saw what you wrote. When worn suspension does not handle as described from worn bushings ,springs,shocks the suspension geometry changes completely. Thus once it is aligned the second it is put on the road it goes all out of spec all over again.

Sounds like either the remote needs reprogramming or their is a setting to have it turned off which needs to be reset at a dealer.

Does that only mean that toyotas made in North America receive exxon but not the Japanese built ones?

If it bouncy then get the suspension checked . If the wheel does not center then get the alignment done. It may just be the alignment being off throwing the whole car off when the car bounces fro worn suspension.

There is a predetermined number of programmed keys to the car like all Toyota's. 2 masters 1 valet 1 wallet case if applicable and 1 more spare if needed. You can make a metal duplicate all you want just the car will only work with 5 keys. I also would not bother changing the locks for now . The keyless entry won't work and using the key in the door will not get the truck to go anywhere.

Never said it was blue. It is slightly dimmer than 4300K but has a nicer output range which has the border of a blue hue. Once blue is added you loose the reflective spectrum your eyes see. So the more blue the less you can see on the road. Besides no one makes a quality bulb other than 4300k the closest is a 5000k mid life upgrade bulb which is already colour shifter to match an older bulb.

Ahh , see i knew there had to be more to the question to make it complicated. :) I don't know ,do they both share the same engine code since the crank is different?

Having tint too dark is a real pain in the !Removed! to see out of at night even with legal limit tints. 30% is a good number unless you really need the privacy then do 20 but 15 is just black. LLumar is a good film.

Leave the truck parked outside. Get 2 small spikes inserted under the leather on the seat. Have a large inverter or just use a HID ballast and hook it up to the spikes. the voltage is enough to paralyse someone shortly but not kill them. So you would get to catch them. Otherwise let the insurance cover it.

A seasoned member like you would know what most us would say which is . Long term reliability power and economy will be sacrificed by using anything but premium.

It may be a bad wiring connection check the pump wiring.

If you can hear a buzzing sound it is probably a loose connection.

6000K would be still usuable with the blueish spectrum.

Now that is more than nice of you. I am sure someone can make god use of them.

I know my insurance covers replacing all keys and lock home/cars if stolen.
