lebon I am more confused myself but I am hoping Dave is coming down to have a look at the car and hopefully will find a solution. I read somewhere you had issues with tram lining how did you solve that?

Got Tony Bones to reset the toe angle, although still within the Lexus tolerances that I obtained from the dealership. That was even before the WIM facility had been set up, and Tony was working for a tyre place in Watford.

IS 200 Sport with a few mods, Standardish IS-F. The IS250 SE-L with a few mods has gone to a new home.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Unlikely to make a difference, it isn't a BMW :mellow: but it was on 3/4 full.

Only reason for asking was I realised that the drive on less than half a tank is much better on 3/4 tank. Done that twice now on the same road.

My rack was changed because of the vagueness of the steering on high speeds. There was a steering recall done on the is but on a slightly earlier model then mine

Terry had a recall on his gs430 and the main dealer changed the rack and Terry thought the car performed VERY bad with the new rack and told the dealer to put back the old Rack...

Could it be that the new rack was not fitted properly as mine feels more 'solid' now and in control but the problem now with mine is it does not feel planted sometimes it feels like dry ing in a crosswinds.

Not sure what they did but they seem to think everything is fine. Dave did say he was going to sort something out and also waiting for Lexus to call me.

Labon your need to keep pushing Lexus to sort this out or go to a independent suspension specialist.

Shame that this is spoiling your enjoyment of your car
