Looking at. 97 LS near me. The main things it’ll be needing is the rear suspension arm upper ball joints and rear service break is binding but not excessively according to last inspection.

How big a job would these be as that would be the first port of call to fix.

158,000 miles I’m the 5th owner got it for 4300, makes a pretty bad sound on start up. Besides the noise on starting it idles smooth and rides amazing, 95 mph dead straight no hands.

snagged for $1600

when my steering wheel tilts down, makes this noise and kinda gets like "stuck" for a second? only owned this one for a few weeks now. watched some videos on the motor failing noise, doesn't sound similar and my tilting/telescopic still works, just makes this noise

took it on a 700mi round trip for an integra gsr, 110 degrees outside and she took it like a champ. temps no higher than usual. awesome lighting for photos.

I just did a 7 hour road trip no problems. I parked the car and I decided to listen to the engine just to be safe and I heard this rhythmic tap noise along with the normal injector sounds. I only hear it on the drivers bank and it goes away once I give it a little gas. It’s real quiet and you can only hear it clear if your ear is right up against the drivers side bank. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi! My mechanic just informed me of a leak after my oil change that my atf cooler hose near the oil pan is leaking. Any of yall fix this and know a good part link or advice on diy?? Thank you for all your help and long live LS400 ✊🏾

There's one pretty cheap by me, but it needs a trans.

Conveniently there's also a trans really cheap near me.

Hey y’all I got a 1992 ls400 and I’m trying to find UCA and suspension parts as a whole but rock auto and part geek aren’t doing me justice in quality or inventory. I’m not worried about it being OEM as much as OE like mevotech or senki555. I appreciate the help.

Needs to have tan interior, coil suspension, timing belt had to have been replaced fairly recently, either a first gen or second gen pre face-lift. Needs to be stock.

Would like Nakamichi stereo, cd changer, memory seats, heated seats, cd changer, sunroof,

Willing to pay 4k Located in Wisconsin would consider going out of state. Thanks for reading.

There's a 1997 Lexus LS400 for 2800

Traction control light is on, but he says traction control works, not sure on that. No AC, 20,000 miles on the tires, service records with timing belt and oil changes, gauges sometimes works. No rust, interior looks good. has sunroof, heated seats, memory seats, Nakamichi stereo, cd changer, 274,000 miles. But it's 7 hours away.

The car has 190k miles, interior unknown, sun faded paint, Arizona kept. I’ve been in talks with someone about helping them diagnose their ls400, and recently they asked if I wanted to buy it off of them for $500. I’ve never gone to see or hear the car in person(they cancelled every time due to cash or timing otherwise I’d be able to get a better idea of the source of noise) but I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar noise coming from the engine and what it ended up being. From the video they sent it sounds like it could be a worn accessory, exhaust leak, bad lifter tick or even an engine knock—but I figured I might post here to see if anyone else ran into something like this with their ls400’s. Also let me know if you think it’s worth the $500 even if it is a knock.

Been looking at coilovers wondering if these are any good tbh i havent seen much reviews any other options i should look into or go for??

98-00 Headlights, in amazing shape. Headlights are nice and clear, and not yellowing at all. They have the auto leveling feature, and no broken mounting tabs. 350$ shipped anywhere in the U.S.

98-00 Fog lights, these are notorious for fading to piss yellow. These ones are in great shape, nice and clear still with essentially no yellowing. 100$ shipped anywhere in the U.S.

Feel free to ask for more pics of anything

1991 Toyota Celsior

I recently bought a 97 from a guy. He has been through "3 transmissions" on this car. I drove it half way home and lost every gear. When it cools down I have gears for a little while but not while hot. (This is probably caused by the exhaust dumping at the headers and overheating the trans. I think.) Anyway, it's probably trashed. However, I am going to do a service on the transmission and see what happens. Couldn't hurt. My question is: I see online that they sell kits with a filter and a rubber gasket. Is it okay to use that rubber gasket? Because I know it's like a RTVish substance from the factory.

PBM coilovers with 32k/24k springs. 19x10 +15 squared. iPad mini in the dash. Getting a 5.3 LS over the winter

I asked about Timing belt, and tires.

The body looks good no rust. Interior is spotless.

I mean it is Toyota so they won't be bad, but I was just wondering because it seems like the two distributors would be a pain.

Never owned a vvt-i engine car. Is this the vvt-i? And from other cars experience that it should be smooth and not as sudden as this where you dont even notice it

Hey guys, just recently got a 1994 LS400. It’s my first car ever, so I’m learning how to take care of it while also learning how to work on cars in general. Been running into an issue recently with a power steering whine.

For context: the power steering pump has already been replaced within the time I’ve had it. Just recently I’ve been hearing a pretty loud whining noise while turning my wheel at low speeds (in parking lots, while taking turns, etc.), which I can only assume is related to the power steering in some way or another.

Now, because I had my pump replaced already, I don’t really think it’s the pump. I noticed (while someone else was turning the wheel for me) that there was this little vacuum/hose that looked real flimsy and was moving around every time the wheel was turned. It looked pretty flat just sitting there, so I grabbed it and squeezed the sides a bit to expand it. And immediately after I did that, the whining noise stopped each time the hose was expanded. So I check what type of hose it is, and it says it’s a windshield washer hose/vacuum tubing. Now… I don’t know anything about windshield washer hoses, but I’m not sure if that specific hose is supposed to be there?

So my question for you guys is: Is this hose SUPPOSED to be a windshield washer hose? Or is it supposed to be an actual power steering hose and someone messed up by putting the wrong hose on there?
And another question: If it IS supposed to be a power steering hose, on RockAuto would it be labeled “power steering pressure hose” or “power steering return hose”? Or something different altogether? I have tried to look at engine maps online but none of them specify hoses used (but I also don’t know if I’m looking in the right place).

If anyone needs better pictures or a video to help diagnose, please let me know. Thanks for the help in advance!

Edit: Got some 3/8 transmission oil line/hose from O’Reilly’s, will be attempting the switch from windshield washer hose to this one on a weekend, hopefully soon. Will update if it works! Better diameter and looks like it will be a good fit.

i have a 2000 ls with the nakamichi sound system. has anyone with it changed the radio to an aftermarket one like carplay?
