Any chance you can loosen everything, then let the lift drop down while everything is loose? Then roll the car back and forth, and tighten everything with the car on its own weight

V811

removed rear shocks today
droped car down from the lift
no change at all
dealer saying springs
springs were never changed

V811

We’ve loosen everything
no difference at all
droped car down rolled around

V811

It doesn’t make any sense to me how springs were never changed and now there is massive difference
perhaps there is difference in springs for normal gas shocks and nematics????

Dealer offered to buy new standard springs
not sure if it will help
guys please advice

Who is this 'dealer'? A Lexus dealership's service department? Or some other type of dealer.

Do you have part numbers for the parts that this "dealer" has installed?

Is your GS 350 an F-Sport? If so, does the AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension) still work?

mrplesh

He has LUX package wheels so might have AVS if they are original

Well, HERE is a thread from years ago that you will definitely want to read...with the same problem as you have.

V811 - Any update or news? Did you read the THREAD I provided about someone else with the same problem you're having?

I learned my lesson hard way, keep removed springs compressed until put back in, otherwise that' what you get. Lucky me I decided to go with Tanabe later.

Thank you guys
dealer Is still confused
no one has a clue
factory in Japan (where springs made) also has no direct answers.
they said it must settle.
ordered Tanabe already
never expected that kind of surprise from Lexus but well.
thank you all
will send pics once Tanabe installed

i have a similar problem on a 2019 GS 350f rwd. I changed the springs and camber adjust. had it aligned. I noticed that the right rear tire is a 1/2" forward compared to the left side ,which is centered in the wheel well.
the right side is also stiffer. the height is ok. it might have some bump steer wobble. the alignment shop did not notice it. it has AVS . I cant tell if it works or not. even before the mod.
i did try to loosen everthing and retorque. one more thing , when i jack the rear of the car the wheels both move forward, it seems odd to me. I did all the work myself , I hope i didnt screw it up.
Any suggestions?

I have the same car with AWD. I am having suspension problems and came across some information that stated the ride height sensors needed to be re-calibrated by the dealer. Not sure if that makes any sense but I thought I would pass along in case it is useful.
