One thing I may need is a new strut mount or new strut on my GS430 as I believe the current front passenger one is what is making the squeaking/creaking noise when I go over bumps, don't know how difficult it is to replace or even if it is a DIY but if it is I would appreciate some insight.

If you have any experience in spray painting a hood or front bumper that would also be greatly appreciated and a DIY would be great as I don't want to pay a couple thousand to have them resprayed(rock chips, sap etchings, scratches) and would rather do it myself.

I really appreciate the DIYs on Club Lexus as they helped me to be able to clean my Throttle Body, change my Brake Pads, and hopefully when I get to it fix my doorlock actuator and possibly replace my lower ball joints down the line.

There is already a DIY 2nd gen suspension thread n the 2GS section. It's not too difficult if you have the right tools.
