Take a look and see if the ball broke off or if there was no nut on it. Maybe they took off the balljoint nut and forgot to put it back on.

Yeah i think the smoke was the fluid leaking out on exhaust pipe and now theres not enough left.

Are you a good DIYer? I wouldnt worry about broken bumber, seats etc. I would look out for electrical issues or major mechanical trouble. Does the engine look like its been messed with much? How do the oils look? Drive ok? Look for covered up cluster lights. I like em rough and dirty

I think junkyard is the best bet.

I say its the brakes. Is one of them dragging? Look for an abnormally hot wheel. Maybe the tires. Some thing loose in suspension? Air leak in door seals? Fuel pump? Have a passenger help you by trying to find the source when driving.

If i were you I would just jack up the car and get under there and check it out. Maybe just the boot is torn. Rebuilt rack and tie rod ends are not too expensive and you can install yourself. Bleed the system and get allignment done.

Front cv? You mean PS rack boot? Might have damaged the rack...or just the boot and tie rod ends.

In my opinion if oiled filters were better than dry filters, i'm pretty sure they would have put those in. Why some people think they can engineer better than those lexus hired is beyond me.

Try is any warning light on? Any diagnostic codes? something wrong with the fuel filter?

Didn't wanna open a new thread on this but is it ok to put 205/65/15 tires in the back and 205/70/15 in front? I'm getting a great deal but was wondering if its gonna make my trac or abs go crazy. They are Toyo 800 by the way. Thanks

I think, UCA make noise on bumps, not turns. Easy to check, grab and try to shake. I say ball joints again.

Arnott

Have you checked their fuses? The bulbs? If not it could be the wiring.

She WAS a jerk and you called her on it. Stand by it. Maybe a little over the top but hey, she started it. She hasn't even come back to the thread, looks like it was just a drive-by. We all know who is "an embarrassment" here.

Amen...

Have you checked voltage when idling? Should be 13 - 14v. Could be the voltage regulator.

Yes 5. Batt, Brake, Oil, Coolant, TailLight check. I've already replace and cleaned my terminals and contacts. Checked alternator voltage, trunk hinge too. The problem is something else. Let me know if you fix yours.

I think trunk hinge issues come up even when not braking, but increase during braking. However in this case there is no other symptom, just the 5 lights coming on without any reason.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with my car. The same 5 lights. Same behaviour. Come on sometimes when driving. Go out at stoplights sometimes. Its not the alternator as I had it checked, also its new. Problem is when I went to the mechanic the lights were out. They mostly come on when driving. Checked the trunk hinge too. Nothing wrong there, all wires are intact. For alternator: Trac off and check engine should come on too. For trunk hinge: Problem should occur on braking only. This is something entirely else. Maybe a bad ground somewhere. I cleaned the battery posts already.

Here is a nice size comparison: I like the first two Gens. PINK PANTHER!!

Can you just pull it? Else try junkyard. www.car-part.com

Fuel pump?
