I bought a used lexus in Nov of '04 with 97k miles. After few days of driving, I noticed that it is making more noice than 97 camry (my friend has it). When I had tires rotated, steering was vibrating and vehical was pulling to right. Thought wheel bearing is gone. I had Midas check it and serviceman suggested that problem was not related to wheel bearing but it is due to scallopped tires. Did not mention any other reason besides suggesting new tires. I am thinking about getting new tires but do not want spend money without fixing the root cause of the problem.
What could be the problem?
Is the problem related to struts, shocks or something else?
How do I know if problem is due to a particular item?
Where should I get it done to save money but want best parts.
I really appreciate your input!
Thanks!
