Thanks, so basically no difference between the 96 and 97 GS300 then? Put simply, if you had a 1997 GS300 MKI would you expect a door catch/lock from a 1996 GS300 MKI to fit?

Hi all I have a Lexus GS 1997 JZS147 Saloon 300 which needs a new rear, drivers side door catch. (I'm in the U.K.) I have found the following on ebay.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351570753168?clk_rvr_id=1026117030592&rmvSB=true#vi-ilComp But it states in the compatibility test that it will only fit the 96 model. Is this right? I thought that from 93 to 97 they were the same. Assurances or otherwise needed :) Thanks

Good idea. Thanks.

Thanks for that :)

I'm changing the front lower ball joint as the actual ball ripped away from the arm, luckily when on my driveway. I undid the nut at the bottom of this ball joint expecting to be able to just tap the bottom thread with a hammer and out it would pop, ready to fit the new one, but no. The bloody thing is seized solid. I've been bashing for about an hour and used up half a can of WD40. Any ideas? Piccy attached.
