Lexus Repair: 1996 Lexus LS 400, lexus ls 400, strut rod


Question
When should the timing chain of my 96 LS 400 be replaced?  Reality vs. Dealer trying to sell me a repair?

What is a rear carrier bushing?

Answer
Hello Brian, 1996 is the first year Lexus changed from 60k miles to 90k miles on timing belts. So if you are at 90k then it should be done. As far as the bushing they may be talking about the lower knuckle bushing for the strut rod. It is a comon repair.
