I just replaced the upper control arm w/ball joint on my 98 GS400. It doesn't come seperatley it is all one part. I purchased it new for $152 shipped on Ebay. The job took me 30 minutes to complete without using power tools. Here is a link to a video of the job (in the video they are installing an adjustable arm, but the job is the same with a normal one.

Thanks, but I've already did all the steps you did. Pirelli in Ga. and in Canada said they couldn't find any. I would try other countries but I don't speak other languages.

I need someone outside the United States to locate a Pirelli PZero Nero M&S size 245/40-18. I have these on my car and one got damaged as I drove over some road construction. The township road dept. is paying for the tire, but they are on back order in the U.S. til December. I've checked everywhere on the internet. I am hoping that someone in another country may be able to locate one for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the help. I guess i'll have to look into some aftermarket equip.

Good thing I didn't start purchasing the Nak stuff.

E Bay. I just bought one from "trimking1" for my IS300 for $157 plus shipping. It was painted to match and looks fantastick. It was easy to install and took about an hour. There are other people selling them on E Bay also, but this was the least expensive.

I have been spending entirely too much time researching tires for 18" after market rims and I keep getting differing views on the same tires. So if anyone has some real life experience with tires for 18" rims it would help. Basically, I've been looking at Pirelli PZero Nero M&S , Continental ExtremeContact, Nitto's, Falken's and Sumitomo's. The only one's that I've read up on are the Continental's and the Pirelli's. All the other one's are part of "wheel and Tire packages" from various websites or local wheel dealers. One local guy here kept going on so much about the Sumitomo's it made me think he was gettin a kick back from them or something. So I'm a little skeptical since I can't find anything on the net.

Anyway, my criteria is basically: good all-season handling, pretty good tread wear, quietness, and most importantly price. I didn't want to go over $200 for a tire. Any suggestions would help, Thanks.

I just put the Perelli PZero Nero M&S 245/40-18 on my 98 GS400. They ride smooth, they're quiet and they stick like glue. The car is much more responsive with true performance tires like these, it handles like a completely different car now. I am very pleased with the way they handle in the rain also. I haven't driven in snow with them but they've been rated pretty high at the TireRack. If you want your car to handle like a sports car then these are the tires for you.

I would like to convert my Premium sound system on my 98 GS400 to a Nakamichi system. Does everything have to be swapped out or can some of the original parts be used(speakers, wiring harnesses, etc...). I'd be using used equipment from a salvage yard.

Also, do you think I'd be better off with aftermarket equipment? Without spending a fortune.
