Hey guys!

I'm happy to say that I've finally accrued enough capital to float a nice, low-mileage '00 S4 but I wish to sell my '01 Lexus is300 first before I pull the trigger. The is300 is in immaculate condition and has been routinely serviced by my local Lexus dealer.

However, I've noticed that the handling seems a little "off" as of lately. The car just seems a bit disconnected from the road and sloppy upon turn-in. I just replaced the shocks and all pivotal suspension bushings so I highly doubt that this is the culprit. I've had some mechanically knowledgeable friends of mine inspect the car and they seem to think that the ball joints should be replaced. If this turns out to be true then would I replace both units? Is there anyway to test the condition of ball joints? (43330K and 43340A in this IS300 suspension diagram)

I have very little experience with working on suspension components so I would appreciate your input guys. Thanks in advance y'all!

it could be ball joints, it could also be the steering itself.
