Loose feeling handling and steering
Hello all,
Recently after putting 50,000kms on my 2016 IS350 AWD with RSR down springs, I decided to go back to stock height. I had an issue where my cv axle needed replacing due to creaking sounds while turning and braking at slow speeds. Now after I had that fixed, everything felt like it was back to normal and I was riding very smooth again. However, I recently encountered a new problem - my steering feels loose and handling feels looser than it did. It takes a bit more steering effort to the left than it does to the right to make the vehicle turn. One friend suggested it could be my LCA bushings? I had those replaced two years ago (so 50,000 kms ago) with RCF bushings to mitigate the tire wear. At that time I also lowered my IS.
What could it be?
I appreciate any input that may come. Till the next update~
