If there is anyone on here that has access to full TSB details for the LS, I have a request for one. I have the exact same issue as listed on this page. Specifically "VIBRATION FELT FOR A FEW MILES OF DRIVING AFTER PARKING."

Can anyone post the full TSB for this, or at least tell me what is involved? I can't find much information about it.

TIA

TSBs aren't numbered that way. With very few exceptions they are X(X)-X(X)-X(X). I don't see any TSB referring to a vibration. Sounds like classic flat-spotting to me.

TBH that's what I thought too, but I seem to remember reading somewhere a while ago that there was a TSB that involved doing something with the steering shaft assy. However I could be totally wrong.

The flat-spotting does make sense however, and now I'm wondering if I have the original tires on my car or not, 8 year old tires could definitely be the problem. Does anyone know what the OE tire was for this car? I have Continental's I believe, but I will double-check later.

Thanks

Michelin on the 17" and Continental on the 16".

Age doesn't have as much to do with flat-spotting as does aspect ratio. Anything with a ratio of 50% or less will flat-spot; the lower the ratio the greater the chance of flat-spotting. The flat spot should go away after 5 or more miles.
 
OK thanks, this is the first car where I have had this low of a profile on my tires, so it makes sense now. I have the 17" stock chrome wheels so the fact that I have Continental tires means they've at least been replaced once during it's lifetime.

As long as the flat-spotting is the explanation then I'm not worried, it's just that after I came across that TSB I was a little worried.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
