I sold by trusty MK2 300 sport just before Christmas and purchased a 2005 Mk3 (might just be regretting that a tad) At speeds over 60 the car wanders from the straight ahead, every so slightly but enough for it to cause constant, and almost sub-concious, corrective steering imputs. What makes the situation worse is a minute lag between steering wheel input and actual steering input, leading to a tendancy to overcompensate for its waywardness. (it's definitely not tramlining) This all becomes very tiresome, especially on long motorway runs, to the point where I want my Mk 2 back. The steering rack was replaced just last October (recall item - the first time it was done they fitted the wrong rack!), the tyres are fairly new Pirellies and I had the whole geometry checked today and evrything was bob-on apart from the front right caster angle very very slightly out at 6Degs 36'. So the answer doesn't appear to be there. I'm enjoying the additional power, and better fuel comsumption and "toys" and yes I do think it is even quieter than the Mk2 but unless I can overcome its wooly nature it'll have to go I'm afraid. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be and or what to try next? Thanks Marc-H

I'd be interested to know what they offered for your GS sport as my pride and joy has to go cos were moving and only one parking space. (Wife won't drive the GS - too big!)

I had to change the rear tyres recently and after putting up with this vibration problem for many months (luckily I don't do many miles) the problem is now solved. I'd already been through the motions of balancing - and re-balancing - but never any real improvement, so as soon as I realised the problem had disappeared, I went bak to the tyre fitters and looked at the old tyres which looked to be somewhat oval. Hmmm.

From about 75 to 90 mph (not been [much] faster than that) I'm getting a vibration "wave" that appears to go through the car at about 3 second intervals. I still have some issues with the wheel balancing (I'm waiting till I can afford new tyres and a trip to Watford) but Im not convinced that the vibration is un-balance induced. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or perhaps offer some advice as to where to start looking. Any advice will be gratefully received and a Happy New Year everyone. Marc-H

I will need to replace the tyres on my Mk2 GS300 sport shortly (I will replace all four as the 2 on the front are cheapies although still okay). I'll also be visiting Watford for the full monty at the same time. I want quietness and comfort (I know, shouldn't have bought the sport but it is peach) rather than outright grip so does anyone have suggestions, experience of differing makes etc? All advice will be gratefully received. Marc-H

I have just taken ownership of a rather handsome GS300 Sport Mk2 in Silver (yes I know!) It will need a "B" service shortly so I was wondering if members know of any independant Lexus Enginners in the Sussex / Surrey area. Any help will be gratefully received.
