98 gs300 brake master cylinder cost me a ton of money to fix.. 2 door actuator and fan shroud thats all i had problem so far.

 

With my 98 GS4, I have changed my throttle body and motor because it went into limp mode,

that was basically one of my only "Unexpected non maintenance " issues.

I changed my motor mounts because one was broken and the engine wanted to jump outta the hood. Changed it with my tranny mount.

Brakes, and Rotors are normal wear and tear.


Im now @ 127K
I got the car last Feb with 118K.

 

I love my 99 2gs to death and its always been a good car to me but i really wish Toyota designed the balljoints better. Iv replaced my front lower balljoints twice in the last 60k miles. The first time, they actually broke with the wheel coming off and ruining my fender...arrghh good time .

 

chrome bezel chipped on me a while back.

and the leather wrinkles like crazy!!!! I think we can all agree on that one....

otherwise its a great car.

like my dad use to say, you have nothing to worry about its a toyota / (in this case lexus)

 

I just replaced my ball joints too - but this time I bought Moog Ball joints from Rockauto. They appear to be a more beefy ball joint and just look better overall. Time will tell but out of the box they look great. Plus they were made in Japan.
