  1. I took my car to a Toyota dealer to have my wobble looked at. Lexus dealer is too far away to travel in this condition. Apparently my problem is the front tires. I agree they are almost gone, but not sure they are correct. I've always used Michellin MXV 4+ front and back for over 17 years and never had this before. Can a tire go bad over night? Thoughts?
  2. Since I have owned my LS400 with 19,000Km's Lexus has never turned the rotors. Maybe sand them up only. They always installed factory pads.
  3. you have a slightly warped rotor and a brake caliper stuck in the extended position. That sounds like the problem! I know one of my pistons was sticking, must now be the very end of travel. Thanks so much, I'll check it out.
  4. Trac only operates (..the brakes..) at the rear. Check and make sure your brake lights aren't always on and therefore ABS is activating even with no "braking". I checked the brakes lights, only come on when applying the brakes. Did this in 'Drive' with e-brake applied.
  5. I have the exact same problem. It started about 3 wks ago. I stopped driving the car since I was too busy with the holidays etc. I have about 300km's on my LS400. At first I thought I had a badly bent rim or the wheel nuts became lose. I did the TRAC fuse, disconnected the bat. nothing changed. Mine is only on the front. When I drive forward, the steering wheel turns to the right each time the wobble happens, if I reverse, the steering wheel goes to the left. Seems like only one of the brakes is engaging. The event happens around every 6ft, forward or reverse. Prior to looking at this forum, I thought the ABS is engaging on one wheel, due to a bad sensor or something. I tried driving the car with the brakes engaged, still happens. Is there a way to safely disable the ABS system?
