I’m the third owner. The maintenance done on the car was just oil changes and a spark plug change at Lexus. I know me to but who knows I also found some battle scars underneath the car like if one of the previous owners climbed over a side walk or something. I also have a deep dent and cut in my oil pan but nothing on my subframe. Weird stuff but who cares I fixed everything already.

Sounds like one of the previous owners lowered it and didn't do it right. Glad you fixed it all up. I'm planning to buy all solid bushings shortly to eliminate all the rubber compliance in the suspension, but it would be horrible if the bushings were already trashed. That's a whole lot of parts to replace, good on you for doing it right!

I even changed the bushing for the front control arm that connects to the subframe not the USRS bushing. WoW! Have fun changing that one haha.
