Hi everyone, Im running a 2000 ES out here in Saudi Arabia.
My car has a slight clonking from the rear end, so I am looking to price up a suspension overhaul.
The car has done 230000 KM (About 143k miles), and being AVS equipped, Im pretty certain the dampers will be original, though the adjustment seems to make a difference still so Im not convinced they need replacing yet.

My thoughts are to replace the top mounts and bump stops on both front and rear, and the 4 control arms on the rear.

Does anyone know how much I should be looking to pay for these parts? Just so I can make sure Im not getting ripped off....

Cheers

Check our your sway bar, it might be as simple as worn out sway bar links.

check this thread... I had a squeaking sound on my 98 es300 and after changing the bushings mentioned in the below thread, it is gone... may be u have similar issue. I still have the original struts on my car.

For mine ES300 and ES330, sway bar endlinks removed a majority of the clunking

Thanks for the feedback guys, I assume sway bar is the anti roll bar, and the end links are the arb drop links?

Yup same thing

Yep, I had the same issue, a worn link caused annoying clunking over bumps. Replacing it is fairly simple if things aren't too rusty.
