| My new 2005 l300 has been in the dealership 5 times for the shaking in the front suspension, it thumps and shakes throughout the front body, pedals and steering making handling difficult at higher speeds and especially in slush and snow. the tires have been replaced two times and balanced 5 times. even though changing tires never stops the shaking. i've lost control on the highway causing the vehicle to swerve from side to side due to the control loss due to shaking. although the dealer corrected some of the steering issues on the last visit the vehicle still shakes and thumps and is hard to control in certain situations. *jb | |||
