Thanks guys!! Yes Lexus does send you a new owners manual for free. It didn't have any specific info about the differential oil but is was still good to get. I went to the maintenance forum and someone in there had a pic of the process. There are two Hex screws, upper to fill lower to drain. It was really easy!! Thanks again

Hey I was reading through the forum and came across a post asking about what type of oil the rear differential takes. Where do u check the oil level for the rear differential? How do u fill it? I ask because about a 2 weeks ago I started to notice some "jumping" when I get to the car and shift from park to rev etc... Before I couldn't even tell when I was switching gears. The jumping feels like it's coming from the rear of the car. It only does it when I'm switching gears from a stopped position and it doesn't do it all the time. I don't notice any difference in shifting while driving. I have a 98 GS 300 Any ideas?

Hey guys! Last weekend I was at a left turn signal and when i was making the left turn from a stop at about 10 miles per hour (if that) I heard a loud boom!!! like a tire popped and I was riding on the rim. I pulled over immediately to change the tire but when I looked the tire was fine and the wheel well was kind low on the tire. I got it towed to an ASE certified shop and they said it was the lower ball joint that popped out. I had it fixed (had to go to work etc.) but the mechanic said I shouls contact Lexus about it cause it wasn't supp to happen like that not to that car. I called corp cust serv line and they said take it to a dealership and have it looked at to see if (Lex corp) would do a goodwill reimbursement, service etc. I took it to them and they said it was normal wear that caused it to happen. What do you guys think? I was going to call corporate back about it because this isn't a ford I don't expect to be driving and having the wheel almost fall off without sufficient warning!!! What about if I was on the highway doing 60 and that would happened :chairshot: I have a 98 GS 300 in very good condition. What should I do? Suck it up and take the loss or pursue!?

Ideas, yes. Most likely, you need a throttle position sensor. You need to get it hooked up to a scan tool and check the computer for codes. If no codes are found, the TPS can be checked for proper operation with the scan tool.
Thanks for the help. I'll have it hooked up and checked out.

Hey guys!! I'm new to the club and I need some help, Just bought a 98 GS 300 3 weeks ago. Everything has been great until yesterday. I was driving normally applied pressure to the gas and all the warning lights on my dash lit up!! :cries: I came to a stop light and when I tried pulling off, I applied pressure to the gas and nothing happened! I cut the car off and cut it back on and then it started working normal again but a while later a could feel a major decrease in power. I was stuggling to get to 30mph and then it went back to normal. Any ideas!!??? Please help

Hey guys
I have a GS 300. I have been having that very common problem of shaking and vibration in my steering column that seems to be popular in our cars. I got it fixed this weekend!!! I changed my wheel bearing on my front drivers side and the vibration was still there but after I got all 4 tires rebalanced the car drives like the day I took it off the lot again I hope this helps!! Let me know if this works for anybody else
P.S. I got a shop called "The Tire Place" to do my balancing while I watched :whistles:
