Me again! My 92 LS400 rides and handles like crap nowadays. It must have slowly gotten worse in the 5 years I've had it, because I remember when I bought it, it was tight and smooth ride.

Now, it rolls like crazy, and the back of the car seems to have a mind of it's own, and even on smooth tarmac the car has a bumpy, wandering ride.

Have tried the amateur test of bouncing the car at each corner, and shocks seem fine from that perspective. However, haven't changed shocks in 50,000 miles of city driving.

Any ideas what I can try?

Cheers.

Hi -have a look right up the rear springs with a torch, they are prone to breaking at the top coil. Sometimes missed at service 'cause hard to see.
