Default Crushed LS430 pictures

https://www.ebay.com/itm/20261090088...&s=ci&mail=sys

Didn't see any red in drivers compartment. Saw these pictures when I got a leveling sensor. Don't see any rust on armature so hoefully should easy fit and function!

I think the fail is on your part. Just because the listing has ended doesn't mean you can't access it anymore. Click on the picture that says sold...

Is the rubber bellows on both ends of the "shaft" on the new ones packed with grease? Never seen a new one and wonder if lubing it at every other tire rotation will extend the life of em in rusty climates? My last LS went out around 175 k, this LS was a Texas care for the first 4 years it went out at 195k both driven in the salt.

That took a heavy hit in the rear that pushed it into the truck in front. Probably from someone on their damned phone.
Good to see that the crumple zones did their jobs front and rear as the cabin/safety cell is intact.
Gonna be a severe whiplash claim as a minimum though.

If you go the their wedsite there is a phone number. Auto dismantles are like big corporations they are either buying or selling. Otherwise they are all over eBay. This shows with all the power reliability comfort our cars provide the safety is often overlooked!

Looks like the LS430 did an really excellent job of maintaining the integrity of the cabin and occupant space.
