Two problems related to front suspension lower ball joint have been reported for the 2000 Lexus GS300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Front right lower ball joint complete failure leading to wheel/tire barely hanging on vehicle. All this happening going 45-50 mph on outer road/highway entrance ramp.
Lower ball joint on the suspension came apart causing the tire to dislodge. Tire jammed against right front quarter panel causing body damage.

I thank god I was only doing 15mph at the time when the day before I did a 236 mile round trip drive through highway mountain roads.
