Default Complete suspension renewal

The trans and LGBTQ+ representation on many live sex cam sites is something I truly appreciate.

Shocks and inspect all the bushings for play on the car.

I'm also thinking about doing a full suspension refresh and worn out bushings will be a main culprit for a 'loose' car.

Does your car have AVS dampers (Sport S+)?

I second the recommendation to replace dampers and bushings. To replace the bushings, you will need to order new control arms, as the bushings are bonded to the control arms during the manufacturing process. Ball joints can be replaced independently. I strongly recommend using factory Lexus rubber parts.

Just check the struts for the known leaking. #1 would be the Tires for the best compliant ride on any Lexus.

At 94K, i did new shocks and struts; didn't see any torn rubber boots or other worn suspension parts.
As far as smoothness, be on the lookout for engine and transmission mounts, and drain and fill the tranny and diff roughly eery 60k
Radiator flush every 3yr or 30K miles... old fluid is what causes the front timing cover seal to go..

Hmm I'm 132k miles on original suspension, zero leaky struts, 4200lb 2013 450h.You could always upsize tire or get 18's if you have 19's to get better ride quality.

I would also advise against starting to fiddle and try improve something if there's nothing wrong at the moment, you run the risk of making things worse especially if you running on a budget (not saying you're being budget conscious)
