so to update.
i brought my FRS to a friend of mine today and he took a different approach to checking the suspension, he bounced the car on the front left fender and front right fender and said its moving way too much... said he agreed something might not be right with the suspension
we put the car on the lift and both the front struts were leaking hydraulic fluid everywhere!!
It's odd because we drove the car before so i could show him the sounds i was experiencing over bumps.. and he said it doesn't drive bad at all
but the proof was in the pudding when we put it on the lift.
Luckily i purchased StraightOuttaCanadaEh's OEM 17 struts + end links that I will be installing next week.
I also noticed one of the rear bushings connecting the diff to the suspension on the rear was leaking... so will need to look into that as well.... it seems like it cracked
thought about replacing the ball joints but you can't even buy them separately from Toyota. hopefully these ball joints can last with the new struts...
To everyone in this thread saying they've driven cars 200k+ miles with stock suspension. This is clearly not the case on this car. Just DD duties + occasional spirited driving on roads similar to tail of the dragon...... and both front struts leaking.. Meh
