Front end clunk? - 1989-1994 Lexus LS400 Strut Rod Bushing Replacement

[@Jasonzdc]

I watch ls400 maintenance videos all the time for either doing work or just future knowledge. First time coming across one of your videos, very high quality and great editing!

[@ClaytonBridges]

thanks I appreciate it! Sounds good are you a technician?

[@danielwatters5906]

Thanks for the info. Tell us more as you get the chance. Foot lbs, demonstrating etc. 👍

I’m having the same problem mechanic had me buy upper and lower control arms🤦🏾‍♂️ I found your video and showed him he still says it’s not the problem but I just purchased a pair I’ll see this weekend

Is it a clunking while braking? These lexus dont necessarily have a "lower control arm" I mean they do, but its different than a typical control arm. The strut rod and the lower control arm really work together. Its not too tough of a repair to do yourself, unless youre in a particularly rusty area. Do so safely! Unfortunately theres alot that can clunk on these cars too. I still have a bit of a clunk after replacing tons of suspension components

[@ClaytonBridges]

Also, these are heavy cars that usually have alot of miles on them. Not uncommon to need to replace control arms and other bushings

[@rtroeun]

So did you ever fixed it ?

MY 430 HAS A ISSUE SIMILAR, it has a very VERY VERY bad clunk like someone hit the car from behind whenever I’m slowly driving or hitting the break .Don’t know anything about cars , how much do you think ONLY labor would cost for this at a shop
