yea those wont help the vibrations though.

well it may be longer to install these then expected. found out i need my rack and pinion replaced on the GS. picked it up friday and i have to drop it back off next monday. hopefully everything goes smooth with the extended warranty.

i have 55,6xx on my car. the rack was replaced under warranty about 16 months ago but replacement parts only carry a 12 month/12k warranty which sucks because the new rack only has at most 6k on it. i find it odd that it went already and lexus wont goodwill the part.

highly doubt it since the vibration is noticible as soon as the car is lowered.
