Hi,

The ball joints do tend to wear out quickly on the GS,from your 2002 service and onwards they dont seem to have lasted that long on your car.It seems Lexus have design flaws with some of there parts with the rate they wear out :angry:

The Upper wishbones are also known to not last long on the GS.

Hope thats of some help.

2004 and 2005 service not replaced just visual safety...showing slight wear,just wondered if i could try to get dealer to help on cost of replacing if it was maybe due to setup. thanks for your help
