I'm also considering doing the lower ball joint using the C-Clamp method but not sure I'm mentally prepared for that gig. May just pay someone.
Then if I'm C-clamping the ball joint tho, I may as well just do the bushing replacements on the lower that way as well rather than buying the whole arm...
Decisions decisions...

I also have a tiny squeak when going over bumps. Greasing the sway bar bushings up front didn't help at all. Back ones next.
If that doesn't do it, I may have to admit that shocks may need replacing, but before that I need to test it wet to see if moisture stops the squeak (indicating bushings).

I may be losing the adventurous drive for doing such physical labour.
Or I should buy more power tools...?

Took a hair drier and removed the dealer logo they stuck on the back of my LS, if they offered free oil changes to keep it on I may have left it on.
No free advertising on my car!

Love the atomic silver! Very rare on the LS. I almost bought a 2017 LS460L in that color, but chose mine because it was higher optioned despite being RWD.

Also, your pictures are the first time I've seen those leather like mats and liked them! The color contrast looks great!

Thanks man! I figured I’d spruce her up a little, add some tasteful improvements. The leather-like floor mats were surpringly a nice addition to the saddle-brown interior...beautiful. Very pleased with the LS460 experience thus far. Plan on having her around for a long time!
