sounds like the front shocks are shot or something in the font linkage. Rather than have it drive you crazy, just have the dealer or a local good independent shop look at it, they are easy enough to replace. Its a 2006 so 3 years for the shocks to go is not out of reason.

I am guessing its a bushing on the suspensions vs the shocks being bad.

Is it a high pitch squeak?

How much do u think it would cost me for new bushings or shocks

also i heard you can put lubrication or spray on the bushings

I don't know...I have read that the bushing on the upper control arm (front suspension) has been an issue in many Lexus as they age? From what you have described I think its this the source of the problem and not the shocks. I was just asking someone about this as I saw your post. I plan to have mine looked at to see how they are doing. Its any easy fix and I am going to say you can get the part for ~250$ per side. Something you will never have to touch again so not so bad.

In CA I am sure there are a handful of members that can stop by and check it out for you.
