My 98 had the same problem (sound) and I went ahead and replaced the front shocks
I had changed mine too and it was still making the noise that why I changed the shocks
12:03 Hello, I've put the upper control arm wishbone in place but the bolts won't go through, just wondering if you have some tips please to align the holes so that they go through...
Good video but fyi, it's much easier to use that ballpoint separator to separate top knuckle before removing upper control arm, thanks.
*If you have a car that's about 20 years old one should always replace all suspension parts, it's just the safest thing to do. You can replace all bushings, or just replace the parts*
Yea I ended up changing everything
@@TheZuprachannel Figured you would. I'm not pocket watching but it looks like you got it 😂😂😂
I got the same coilovers, uca are squeaking bad driving me nuts, that's next. Nice car
Check your lower ball joints first
I’m only able to hear this similar squeak/creaking inside my 2GS because it’s not as loud as yours.Upper/ lower Megan adjustable arms,RCA’s,inner/outer tie rod,LBJ and I’m still getting that noise.
did you figure out what it was?
@@bagginn I think it’s my steering rack bushings going to replace them with polyurethane ones.
lower control arm apparently its very common on the GS for them to go bad
You shoulda grabbed the megan adjustable ones if u plan on lowering it to get the car aligned i had to grab them. Miss ya bro
alignment is good I'm goin to keep it at this height, I'm not trying to go for that slammed look

What's good brother man, I have the same car and I'm looking into replacing my upper control arm and lower ball joints, and was wondering how the 1a auto parts are holding up, thank you.
Hey brother
The lower ball joints dint last very long like 5k miles
Everyone has been great so far
I just ordered 10 piece front end suspension from them and the parts come from China and were leaking from the bushings, the sway link arms were built poorly.
Good GS notice that you have the VSC light on and not EML on. So if you're interested her's how to reset the VSC light. You have to get down to the OBD port, connect the Ts (14) and the CG(4) port with the wire. Then put the ignition ON for like 25,30 sec DO NOT START THE CAR and then turn the key back to his OFF position, take the wire out and that's it. The VSC light will be gone, enjoy.
They come after doing the gte swap
From what I have read
It could also be a fault in the rotation/deceleration sensor in the ecu. Mine does the same and sometimes the lights just disappears. Also sometimes parking the car in uneven surface also pops the light.
Do you recommend a1 auto parts ? I heard they got mixed reviews just curious cause I’ll have to end up doing mine since I got a lot of miles
I honestly have not have any issues with them, the parts look pretty close to
Oem spec and there shipping is on point
@@TheZuprachannel perfect thanks :) just looking at rebuilding my suspension and they had some wicked videos thought I’d ask someone who’s used there parts :)
@@TheNexus40000 Just ordered a 10 piece front suspension and bushings were leaking, and literally the studs were crooked.
Awesome 😎 where did you get the heads lights
I got the headlights from Amazon
Oem style with black housing
My gs 430 2002 squeaks from the rear suspension i already change the knuckle ball joints so don’t know what’s squeaking now
Damn I’ve never really had any issues or noises coming from the rear
How are the upper control arms holding up? I just bought some TRQ lowers
They have been working fine
But honestly the car has been sitting for the past year
It’s getting a single turbo upgrade with supporting mods
Miss ya bro. If u plan to lower it and want to get adjustments for the alignment go with the meagan upper control arms. If you are keeping it that ride height should be fine. I love the wheels
thanks brother
How are they holding up those control arms that brand
They have been good so far
The car has been sitting for almost a year now going single turbo and other supporting mods
I have the same problem currently
Check your lower ball joint first
What wheels are those and offset and tire size please. I’m sure you’ve answer it before just can’t find it
These are HRE 540
Front 19x9
Rear 19x10
I don’t remember the offsets on them
@@TheZuprachannel you remember the tire spec ?
For me this sound looks like due to bad sway bar..
I change this part and continue squeaking. Why??
Hey brother my noise also came back after a couple of weeks I will be replacing the power steering rack
The car has been at the body shop for like 3 months it’s getting repainted. I will be doing a video on the power steering rack install I will let you know if that takes care of the squeaking it’s the only thing left to change.
