02 78k GS3 I just purchased. Looking at the carfax, lower ball joint was replaced at 35k. Will run VIN at dealer to see if both were done or just one. I plan on buying replacement ball joints off eBay soon. No need purchasing the "inflated" price on the faulty OEM ball joint. I replaced the ball joints on my Infiniti @ 200k...so it's a shame they built the OEM joints poorly.

I'm up to 168k in my 99 GS400. Replacement parts:
Timing belt 165k
Water pump 165k
Alternator ~145k
Lower Ball Joints ~150k
Gas cap ~120k
I got it with 118k and I'm probably going to end up keeping it for a while even though it's currently for sale. The 2GS forum always makes me want to keep it forever.

Didn't know carfax shows details like ball joint replaced.. just heads up I am not sure if the theory of if the oem part is faulty then aftermarket can make it btter really applies.. most of the gs I see do have to have the front end suspnsion work done on it with the age.. id recommend u don'tbuy the ebay brands as they are worst and some have had to replace them on the fourm within months of install.. just fyi do a search on here about ball joints and upper control arms.. sewell lexus is a club sponser and the will give u great prices on th prts once u register wih them with ur screen name..its much lower picing..u will spend a few dollars for uppoer control arms when. Need them but id recommend u get oem.. and most of the board will agree..u have tu buy wole assembly. Not just ball joint comes..
