Basco Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Bought my first lx470. Love the vehicle and I bought it site un seen. 2006, 96k miles, great condition. However, every now and then when accelerating from a stop, there's a thump, bump, bang...whatever you want to call it from the rear end or the tranny. Just trying to figure out if this is a normal thing in a LX or should I get it looked at? I have only enjoyed GM vehicles until now. TIA.

BlueVaporMist Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It has happened on my 1996, 2004, 2006 models. Obviosly I love this car... it is common. It can be allieviated by having the Toyota dealer (which I prefer over Lexus) grease the slip slider yoke zirk fitting. But it will come back. No harm done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueVaporMist Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Anytime, it took me a very long time and a lot of research to figure it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Not familiar with LX470. But sounds similar to the famous GX470 crank shaft issue (or whatever it's called)... Maybe worth checking the GX forum for a reliable solution.

No harm done Had the zerk fitting greased and it fixed the thump. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueVaporMist Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Anytime, it took me a very long time and a lot of research to figure it out! When you hear it again just remember what to say. I save it in the contact info for the dealer in my phone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
