Just bought some black ones off Carpetimats on eBay that have white SC430 stitching on them and they were not bad at all for the price. Under $100 and made in Yugoslavia or similar eastern block country that have some laser cutting machine.

Ours started leaking after about 17 years. At 19 years of age our RX has not shown any other leaks.

According to Broc's post above, the axle flanges are larger on the units with LSD, though specific numbers aren't provided. I can measure the flanges when I get home, I just picked up 3 more LSD's last weekend 😁 So if you have a torsen LSD diff, you need to replace it with one, or replace the associated parts as well if you're switching to non-LSD. If you don't have LSD, you're fine to swap with another non-LSD A dealer should be able to tell you what you have based on your vin. Or you can pop the drain plug and stick a bore scope up there, there are cheap ones available nowadays. If you end up needing an LSD diff, or want to upgrade to one, send me a message, I have found over 15 now

Thanks, am going to replace, it is worn. Have found am OEM with 8,000 miles with guarantee

nothing that i no of , i have adjusted my front to rear the best it can be , the rear speakers are to small , even with the fader set 3 clicks to the rear , just a poor system ,

Has anyone tried this without emptying all the coolant out, just the radiator? I don't have the best ramps to get underneath the engine to drain the spigots by the O2 sensors.

I put a post up on the RX350 page, same thing with the key. 500 miles and while my wife is out of town a rock hits the windshield. The glass company ordered a new one from Lexus today only to be told they are on backorder with no ETA. This is my third Lexus, VERY disappointed in the experience with this new car. I don't look for a change as long as we keep buying.

Lacking a switch, perhaps there is a fuse you could remove. That's assuming it has a fuse that's only for the charging pad..

I saw in the news this morning that Toyota is apologizing for incorrect testing of some Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The article said that some specs were not accurate including safety, torque and engine torque for some cars. The article I read was not clear on whether this included the US models. This comes on the heels of a pending recall for engine manufacturing debris that was left in some motors. They are reviewing a plan to repair these now. Along side this report, several other Japanese car companies stated similar failings. More importantly, I would like to say I have a lot of trust in Toyota. I have owned their cars for years with stellar results. I am sure they will get their hands around each of these issues. I just bought a new Lexus ES350 Saturday! Happy to be here.

Check the race for damage and be sure you are using the correct tightening technique for the bearing load.

Is there more than 1 motor that controls the movement of the steering wheel? when I move the switch back and forth there is no movement at all and I can hear a slight click in a ?relay? motor? so I assume the switch is working, and it works fine for up and down adjustment. I also disconnected the battery for aa few minutes to srr if that would reset anything but it didn't help. Thanks for your input Dave.

Have you tried KYB? I've used them in the past (Mazda MX6) and was happy with them. 2005 LEXUS ES330 3.3L V6 Shock / Strut | RockAuto

Thanks to everyone on the suggestions for trunk lid issues; saved me many dollars hours of frustration.

Another newbie. Joins May 24th, posts for help. Never comes back, never updates or says thanks.

Yes, thank you. Bought it for 1k last week because the guy didn't want to diagnose the problem. 187k miles interior great condition outside cosmetic ok/good condition. Fix cost me 20 dollars for a harbor freight tool set and a willingness to learn. Overall I figure it was a good deal. Now I have a beautiful piece of engineering mastery(1mz) and a ride that does fake wood grain tastefully haha. My friend has an RX also and we might start one of those riding clubs named soccer mom squad (neither of us moms, or women) out of irony

The radio fixed itself! I went back to the Lexus dealer to return the map data card. It wasn't returnable, but the parts guy connected me with the tech advisor, the person that helps you with all the settings on the car. He told me he was not a technician, but would try to help verify the problem. We went to the car and plugged in the SD card. When I turned the car on there was no boot sequence, but a message appeared "Checking for map info," which I hadn't seen before. It then went blank. After a couple of minutes, we turned the car off. He said to get it checked out by a tech for $237 or go to a nearby non dealer Toyota/Lexus shop. I then drove 10 minutes to get lunch. I then drove another 15 minutes to do some shopping. When I started the car next, the system booted and the new map data was there. Furthermore, all of my radio settings and saved addresses were still there, even though I had disconnected the battery for half an hour when I first discovered the problem. The lessoned learned was don't freak out if it first doesn't boot right away after a map update, just be really patient. This will be my last map update. __________________ Tom Scott San Diego 2016 ES 300H Eminent Pearl White. All of the bells and whistles except ML sound system

My 2008 SC 430 has a bad windshield washer switch. The local Toyota dealer quoted me $600.00 to replace it which sounds excessive to me. Anyone ever done this or had it done? Thanks
