Hi
got my ls400 monday, but few running noises now apparent.
There is a fair bit of play in the wishbone bushes, say 1/16" movement, feels a little like the wheel bearing is out of adjust, but visible movement at the bush. has anyone got a decent set on their bedside table? its a 95 ucf20
There are a few reciprocating noises at about 35/40 mph, they sound hub brg ish and I hope are being transmitted to the car via the previous bush wear?
2 tin heat shields ( one around the ns back box) are rattly, there is a broken bit in the osf plastic w/arch liner and no cover on the underside engine bay, so all in all a little road noise.
Any advise about quietness most welcome please!
finally, there are a few very slight signs of paint deterioration arond the osr arch and c post quarter/ panel, I note rubber drain outlets in the sub sill space below, does the inner arch drain thru here? again this is really slight but I'm keen to prevent any rot/nibbble at the outset
Any advice most welcome, car is up in the air next week for a better check............so may be more
All this may sound bad, its not, overall the condition is very very good, 122k, all the stamps, needs catching up with now.
I like it a lot..................ooo forgot to mention, scrape on the nsf+nsr plastic skirts, they are silver......if anyone has some snuggled up with those rear wishbomes?
ps May need front upper arms too
Wonderful car( had a gs300 some time back..was good too)hope to (near) mint it
thank you
Jim
