I am going this week to get new tires, and I am going to have him put the two rims from the front to the back also in case it is a vibration in the rim. It is just a weird vibration, but I agree it could be tires. I did think of that, but the Axle was the first thing I wanted to change due to the difference in the parts. Thanks again you guys will update...

Thanks for the reply.....I swapped out the axel with an original Lexus 2 piece yesterday, and the loud vibration went away. So I know that was one problem. However, when I am on the highway I still have a slight noise and Vibration in the front and isolated it on the drivers side. Checked the bearing and Ball joints, but they are all less then a year old. (changed the entire front end including lower control arms and struts. The tires are at the end of their life. I was going to rotate them to see if the noise moves or goes away, but I am bringing it next week for new tires so I will wait and see what that does. I will update as I know and if there is any change. But the Camary shaft was a giant thorn in my side and I would advise against it..... Have your old one rebuilt if needed, or just replace the CV joint part of the shaft do not replace the whole thing... Will update shortly

I have a 1999 Lexus rx3000 FWD. I have 350,000 miles on it....I am one who loves to do work on my car. I replaced the Two piece CV-joint with a one piece from a 97 Toyota Camry. I did all the math and checked everything I could and it was a total match. Except that the built in Balancer was a about 5 inches bigger. I drove it for about 5 thousand miles and I developed a vibration. Not much but at about 30 miles an hour it would start and by 45 it was loud and you could actually feel it in the wheel. I drove like this for a while before I went and got an original axel (passenger side) (two piece). The vibration subsided a bit, but not entirely. I still have it. I have checked everything from Bearings (replaced 10 thousand miles, to the other CV-joint, replaced 15 thousand miles ago. I have determined it could be the tires but have not changed them yet, doing that soon. I know that my Transmission shifts a bit hard, but I recently flushed it, but no change. I also get a vibration when in drive when at a stop light, so I changed all the motor mounts (4) and it may be the torque convertor, but that should not cause the vibration I am feeling during the drive. I will update, but if anyone has any idea that would be great...
