Update: Picked up the car after more than 2 weeks in the dealer shop. Upper and lower controls arms and other bushings have been replaced.Test drive with the shop menager and the service adviser...same banging. Droved together a demo(2010) and no banging.Drove an other LS model 2007, with 35K miles, no banging.My car has only 18K ! Contacted Lexus. They will have my car checked by an engineer next week .Will keep posted.

I own an 07 LS 460 with 17000 miles. Right now my car is in service with the same banging noise that occurs when the brake get pressed .The hole car shakes at the same time, for a fraction of second and just in the beginning when the brakes get pressed. My service advisor just called to let me know that the lower control arms seems to be the problem and that it will take a couple of days to get the parts. From what I can read on the forum,I am not the only owner experiencing this problem. I felt this banging noise at around 15 K. I would keep the other owners informed with the status of the repair and the final outcome.
