Gary Vodvarka Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I have a pre-owned 2008 RX350 AWD for 3 years now. Recently I have had what I though was noise from old worn tires. I recently replace them with Goodyear tires that where rated to be quiet. I still have the noise although its not as loud. I am wondering if theres a problem with the drive train.

lenore Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You might have a wheel bearing going bad....Ask someone else to drive and sit in different positions and listen for the noise to see if you can localize it. Mine turned out being a front left wheel bearing, but many have had the rear wheel bearings go out. I too tried new tires, noise still there, replaced bearing and it is quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rms1373 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I too have a 2008 RX350. I have Hankook tires and hate them. I've been told to replace with Good Year. I keep thinking I have a problem with a Mount because when I turn hitting the breaks, it makes a funny groaning hoise. But the tires are extrememly loud. My wife doesn't ride in it much and she remarked how loud my car is. I never realized it because I travel in my car. I'm a rep. But, I'm starting to wonder if its my tires, not my mount. Curious to hear your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Actually I replaced tires on mine and still had noise, turned out to be front wheel bearing, however generally the rear bearings are the culprit on these cars. I went with Yokohoma Parada X tires and they are really quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
