Default Removal/Installation of suspension from a 1994 GS300.

Peeps

Im trying to remove the suspension out from my 1994 Lexus GS300 and i bought one of them manuals from ebay to show me how to do it. Unfortunatly with it being ebay the manual is full of crap. Well . . . . not full of crap but it just describes in words how to remove the suspension, with no pics what so ever.

I have had these manuals for different cars before and they have been great with all the relevant pictures but this one is crap.

Is there any one who knows how to remove it please, words alone will do but im sure some one here will explain it better than the CD does, but pics would be fantastic! More stuck with the fronts rather than the rears.

Any help?

Cheers.

Yeah i tried the search feature, always do for something like this. Most of the suspension related stuff is questions being asked about whats the nest set up, best springs, best coilovers etc etc. Nothing much to do with the removal process itself.

Found a good thread on how to remove the suspension from a GS300 but it was for a MKII, my understanding is that the MKI suspension is different. Thats why iv posted up a thread specifically asking for the removal from a MKI GS300.

Any help would be really welcome as im trying to do it this weekend.

Cheers for that Lexus Boy, must agree that its a great site for beginners or DIY'ers like myself.

I really need to know wether we need to REALLY need to remove the upper suspension control arm and the steering knuckle that its attched to. If i can get away without removing that then i can do it no problem. If that NEEDS to come on then im abit stuck as thats not something iv split apart before, and even worse, not something iv put back together before either.

Hi,
I posted this for you. It is for the front suspension. When I have time, I'll post the rear suspension.
