hi im a newbie to clublexus im in the process of purchasing an 91 blk ls400 but i wanted to know what usual the problem is with the suspension. The person iam buying the car from states the passenger side has a suspension issue and i wanted to ask the knowledgeable persons of clublexus what the problem with it could be and what i need to purchase. ive been a honda guy for years but ready to move into the vip scene..luxury is the way to go...thanks guys

 

just the usual bushings and control arms. http://www.lexls.com/ is a pretty good site to check out with tutorials.

 

Gotta be more specific.
What is the problem? what does the car do? could be anything from a blown shock to worn bushings/balljoints/bent arms etc...

Is it an air suspension?

 

Agree, more info is needed. Most important question is; Front or back? There's a big difference on what parts, what pieces, and how much labor. Without any info it could be anywhere from $40 - $4000. Big difference from a Honda to a Lexus in labor and parts price.

 

he just says front passenger suspension issue...i do appreciate all the advice tho thanx

 

Yeah, there's no way of knowing what the problem is with that little/no info. You're gonna have to just take a look at it or drive it and see what it does, like if it bangs, clunks, shakes shimmy, or whatever. Then someone might be able to tell ya something close to what ya need to know.

 

I suggest asking around for a good mechanic and having him do a prepurchase inspection. Or see if the Lexus dealer will do one for you at a reasonable rate.

 

ssseeeearrchhhh please

 

thanks guys
