I have a LS400 1999 Mk IV with the Dynamic Handling Pack, 98k miles. I have said in other posts that the ride is not all it could be and when it went in for the service today I asked them to look at the front suspension.

They tell me both tie bar bushes need replacing and are quoting a fitted price of £367 each side!

Can anyone please comment if that seems a fair price, or suggestions for where else (Woking/Guidlford area) I could look to get it done? I don't mind paying a little extra to have Lexus do it, and to not have the hassle of taking it somewhere else.

Also does their diagnosis seem plausible? I don't know anything about these things. I had expected to hear the springs might need replacing though, are tie bar bushes something else?

Thanks for any help! I have to make a decision fairly quickly, unfortunately.

Hi Chris,

Give Colin at Powerhouse in Camberley a ring, they are Lexus / Toyota independent specialists and have been for a number of years now, you should also be able to get heavily discounted independently supplied parts.

Regards,

Chris Vince

Thanks for the input, guys. I have more information now, via a written quote. It says "Replace both front tie bars due to worn bushes" then quotes for a 01B09A strut bar and a N/STK strut bar, whatever they are. Only one of each, it looks like, which confuses me (that's easily done though).

But all the money turns out to be in the labour, 80% of the price! I'm sure our Colin will be able to do much better than that!
