  1. Sorry if this has been posted already but no search button on the mobile site. My car has 160k on it so no flush for me. My trans shifts smooth and no leaks visible but it looks just above the cold mark when warmed up.. I just want to add a bit
  2. To anyone even interested in this thread i dropped it off this evening to have the bearing replaced. I'll post the results when i get her back....I've been chasing this noise for 2 F'n years so hopefully this will do it;)
  3. A taurus....ouch! Actually from a depreciation standpoint that will be one of the few cars that WON'T bite u in the !Removed! when it gets 200k on it....It would blow your mind to see how much a clean high mile lexus will still bring at an wholesale auction. p.s. a camry/avalon may be the direction, but a taurus is not the answer;) good luck!
  4. Has anyone ever had to have the u-joint(drive shaft) replaced in a 98-00 GS300 for that matter?
  5. I should say it's more of a low rumble and less roar noise...98' gs300 146K
  6. Hi folks it's been awhile since my last post. I've been chasing this noise for awhile time now. I believed it to be a wheel beaing until they were both were replaced and i still heard it so out of frustration i just turned up the music, lol. Really it's not terribly bad except at a idle speed you can hear it loud kind of front n center. I believe now it's the center support bearing for the drive shaft...Has anyone heard this noise or replaced this bearing before? Thanks in advance, ScottE.
  7. Lightweight...I wish!!! A lightweight wouldn't have this much overhead(LOL!)...We'll just say my tolerance gets poor gas milage B)
  8. AWWW, The dreaded 60-65 mph shimmy...It SUCKS!!!! I've battled with this problem on many a lexus' And what i've found is the following: A quality tire is a must. I've had brand new tires that rode like sh*t all b/c i "tried " to save some money. Second, is the SAME shop doing the balance job for you? Generally speaking monkey see, monkey do meaning the machine is only as good as the person using it...If you really want a perfect balance job find a place that that has a "road force" balancer. Any reputible custom rim shop should have one...Hope this helps! P.s. You may also want to have your tie rods checked. Just a thought
  9. I wish i could help...My advice would be to get a second opinion from another shop before shelling out your $$$...Most shops will perform a brake inspection for free. Good luck Shawn
  10. I have one(or three) on a daily basis so when that offer comes along i will GLADLY accept!
  11. Yes sir ree BOB!! That's a HOT tip right there! :D At $200 a pop for the sensors it was nice to have a 10 minute fix;) Very liberating for my wallet!
  12. Check out this site...I'm sure someone on there can answer that for you: www.502streetscene.com Good luck;)
  13. Easy as cake! Problem solved...Sorry i didn't get to take any pics but all it took was a one phillips screw and it pulls out. We then took a shop rag and wiped the magnet clean and then stuck the corner of the towel down in the hole and spun the rotor a few times to wipe the teeth clean...! 10 minutes tops! FYI: we only did the fronts so i don't know about the backs...SHOOOO, i feel much better:)
  14. Wow... that's interesting! I thought so myself;)
  15. I found this thread lastnight...I believe this is my problem b/c it explains my symtoms to a tee: http://www.vr4stealth.com/abs_speed_sensor_cleaning.htm
