Hey

I have an '09 IS350 w/ 77k miles. recently it has started to develop a dull thud sound from the front end when going over bumps, etc. It sounds like a loose part/ worn bushing, etc. only I'm not able to identify it, nor is my local mechanic. The sound is there, but no apparent drivabality issues (ie: no loose steering, pulling, leaking struts, etc) I could swear I can occasionally feel it in my left foot vibrating from the floorboard. I was wondering if is a common issue with these cars, or if any others out there have experienced this and what to look for. ex: control arm bushing, engine mount, strut bushing, etc...

As mentioned, car is an '09 IS350. all stock except for F-sport sway bars. It's actually my wife's car so it's not even driven hard.

Thanks for any input!

did you check the bolts for the sway bar? tighten down the top of your shock towers?

I'd start with the state of the front sway bar bushings and end links; then make sure they're properly torqued.

Check sway bar bushings.

OK will take a look at these and check back in.
