TheRock300 0 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey Forum, I was hoping you could help a fellow Lexus owner out Okay, well the main issue is that I have this noise coming from the front passenger side only. Now the noise only happens when I drive over small "repeated type" bumps, driving anywhere from 20-50MPH over them. Now I did hit a pretty good sized pot hole over a year ago on that exact front passenger side tire, and man did I cringe . I've had the car inspected by multiple places, and the control arm, ball joints, sway links, etc etc are all very very solid. Has anyone else had this exact issue, and what was the solution and the price? Car: 2002 Lexus ES300 125,000 Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DBrucher 0 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Check your struts. I replaced all 4 of mine, 2 at a time, and it made a world of difference. Any funny noises, front or back were gone. I also did mine right at 125K... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
01lexpl 0 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Struts, and/or strut mounts. thye are not greasable units so they get dry and make metal on metal noises... Happens in my car, but my struts are shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
