Rear Differential Noise On 08 Rx 350
Messerchmidt replied to Messerchmidt's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
how would such a problem be fixed? -
Hi, I have an 08 rx350 with 202k km. All the maintenance has been done to spec. I have an awful sound coming from the back on acceleration, similar to a muffled hum. It's not the wheel bearings as those were recently done. I was advised it could be the rear differential. I was reading online and apparently it can be caused by bolts back there that may need retorquing. So I do not get ripped off, can someone please advise what to try first and/or look for? Thanks

works like a charm (so far) bad news is that the mechanic noticed a power steering fluid leak on the passangers side coming from inside the boot; from the web it looks like its the passanger inner tire rod end seal...going to see if I can get woodwill warrenty on this as I bought out the car this past febuary...ugh

mine has HIDs from the factory, so using the el cheapo syl. bulbs as my DLRs (factory ones died). Using the better white/blue tinted silverstar ones in the fog lights (25$ at walmart for the set) - again becauase the factory ones burnt out. Swap the headlights to projectors and install and HID kit, well worth it
