    Clanking Noise When Applying Brakes

    in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430

    Posted

    Well my car has been making this same noise from my driverside front area as i apply the brakes! i bought my car in march and it just started doing it near the end of july! i had my brakes done when i first received the car!

    I brought the car to 5 mechanic shops and NONE can ell me what the noise is as stated by another user it doest do it all the time most of the time but not all, and there for on some "TEST DRIVES" that were taking by the mechanics left them dumbfounded as to what noise i was talking about! As suggested by one place it may be my balljoinst so i changed both sides!! But $285 dollars later (after ball joints were replaced)STILL MADE THE CLICKING noise! WTF :censored:

    I have a 98 GS300 also and i'm starting to think this is a faulty problem with it!! Not only can the sound be heard on the inside of the car but people can hear it on the outside and it doesnt look good pulling up in a 20k+ car and its making this noise!!!

    IF ANYONE FINDS OUT WHAT IT IS PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP!!!

    THANKS

    even though 35% front is legal here, i said F*ck it, "You can win if you dont play " SO....with that if i get pulled over 3 times i will put 35% in the front!!

    Thanks for all the great help i was giving.... I AM TRUELY HAPPY

    :D B) i only paid $100 too..

    Bye~

    93 Gs 300 Chrome Grill And Wood Grain Q

    in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430

    Posted

    Hi and welcome to the club...

    i also am still new to this site and wanted to chrome my grill...but it looked plastic, although i was told by many members there was chrome under there...Anyway i looked at it like this, if i messed up i will just go to plan B (which i was gonna do anyway) buy a chrome grill!!

    To get to the point.......... <_<

    1) i went out and bougt a small bottle of gel citrastrip from my hardware store(Lowes)

    2) i took my grill off and laid it on a trash bag

    3) poured some "citrastrip" in the cap/lid (you can use anything)

    4)Then i took my time and a Q-tip and spread it out it on all the top part of the grill know as the "top ribs" SLOWLY making sure it was enough (there was only a little dripping with the gel)

    5) i let it sit for 30 min and after the time passed i took a pen cap and started scrapping it off and the paint was comming off like no problem! i also used a potato peeler, it worked quicker for me(use anything that will scrape it off the quickest)

    6) then after that was done i just washed it and it is BEAUTIFUL....

    I hope this helps..it will cost less than $12 to do and it is so nice, if your scared try a little corner first, but look at it like this one way or another you will get a chrome grill, WHY NOT try the cheap way first??? It will work i have pics but dont know how to post.....

    I will help further if you want....if your still weary you can mail it to me and i will do it for ya (Just a thought) But its real fun to do and you can say " LOOK WHAT "I" DID TO MY CAR" !!!

    GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE POST..... :D

    i know i dont want to have to modify the main radio look...but i need something that is going to kick out that nice hip-hop sound!!

    OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS!!!
