How Should My 430 Sport Handle?

[Lexnut430]

Hi all.

Just working through things on my new toy & was driving the car up to my mate to get sorted for mot.

I noticed on the way up she handled........differently shall we say.

I know that the front bottom arms are rattlly but she seemed somewhat boaty as if the shocks were gone.

I'm sure this is not normal, but as it's the first time I have drove the car with exhaust fixed & tyres sorted I was surprised.

I assume as it was a sport model it should be quite assured??

Any advice would be most welcome.

"Differently"?

Handling on the GS430 whether SE or Sport should be fairly good and assured providing you don't try to throw it around like a sports car. It might be prudent for you to get it properly checked out front to back/top to bottom! Mine handles superbly and is an SE Nav, 67k FLSH.

That's exactly what I would have thought. It's away at the moment getting readied for mot & it will get whatever it needs.

I really think the shocks are gone so I think I'll just get coilovers for her now.
