Anonymous, SC (2006 Lexus LS 430.0 4.3-L V8)"Left rear shock failed (leaked). Replaced with new shock."
Anonymous, FL (2006 Lexus LS 430.0 4.3-L V8)"My Lexus has air shocks. After 165000 miles I expect that they would need to be replaced. However, I wasn't prepared for the cost. They were $2,000 each! So, the problem I have is the cost."
Michael R., CA (2006 Lexus LS 430.0 4.3-L V8)"Within the last couple months, I noticed a hydraulic fluid leak from the driver's side rear of the car and traced its origin to the strut. As well, I had heard a "clunk" from the right rear going over bumps. I had both struts replaced with my extended warranty covering the leaking one, and the other on my dime. Now that both are replaced, the car's strut problem is a thing of the past. I file this under routine maintenance for a car with 70,000-plus miles on it, and it completely resolved the leaking/clunking problems."

Right now on my daily driver I feel a vibration from my steering and I am suspecting it's the bushi gs"
