SKperformance replied to thewzdoc's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
ok it sounds more and more like motor mounts if you use a lower gear to raise the rpms does the vibration stop also -

Interior Detailing
SKperformance replied to OregonTexass's topic in Lexus Detailing and Car Care Forum

ok my windows have been a problem for a while i ordered a used master switch form cali and it was out of a 92 cmary and it was very different inside as i was going to cannibalize it for electrical parts it seems as i opened up my switches for the windows that the contacts had been covered in black carbon from arcing contacts so i cleaned them all up and they work fine now with the exception of one of my buttons the oin is broken mad ea good difference basically had to remove the door panel and then the master switch then slowly open it up and clean the contacts which do not like to stay in place but it was worth saving the 250 for a new one

i wouldn't use wd40 as it might damge the wood finish below a good cleaner like windex or spray clean form most dealers or spray nine on a q tip run along the rails should help alot then use some white grease or siicone spray on the track -
Now I Can Feel A Vibration After All Those Repairs
SKperformance replied to thewzdoc's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
if it is when you are stopped as well then it is not the drive shaft as it is not moving might be the balancer or if there is a loss of power also might be the timing on the belt is off a tooth the mounts might be suspect also -
stem don't go bad easily they usually break on the rubber part ut if it is covered by metal i am not sure how it is getting corroded might just be a sales pitch

If all points are not included it will be assumed you are being vague to defraud a member which will not be tolerated,the thread will be removed with no further explanation.So please do it right the first time. New members cannot post any for sale items. Do not post a for sale item in another forum to bypass the filter as you will be warned/banned and the thread removed. The only way to post a new a for sale thread being a new member is to become a gold member .This is done so that you can support the club which you would choose to use to sell your items.It is a full circle deal,you help the club the club helps you. <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>All posts in the buy and sell section MUST!!!</span> 1. post a location of the seller 2. have an asking price 3. state if new or used( then how old ) 4. receipt from original purchase, including where it was purchased 5. your name ( should be no problem if you would like someones money in exchange ) 6. Shipping, if it is included or not and how much to areas 7. NO EBAY LINKS. If you have an eBay auction it will cost you to have a link placed on the LOC to receive more dedicated Lexus owners traffic to your auction. You are selling it on eBay to make as much as you can ,not to help a fellow Lexus owner getting a part. 8,THIS IS A MUST, NO BUMPING OR MOVING THE THREAD UP,unless you change the price or something is sold to add or remove from the thread.You bump and it WILL be locked. things to keep in mind is : If you are selling tires,state the tires size speed rating ,model+ make and name of company who makes them eg. 225/40 18 z toyo proxes t1-s also a $2 tread depth gauge would also be good to state the true actual thread depth, as everyone says it has 80% left If selling rims state the size width offset and curb damage and what car it was on. If selling a product that is model specific ,please do not double post it in the buy and sell section and then the model forum section , the rest will be deleted . please state if you have a pay pal account and it is is verified as well , if you do. If you are a new member to the LOC and are trying to sell something please be as specific as possible to every detail possible of the product.

So What Happens When You Drop Clay?
SKperformance replied to amanda's topic in Lexus Detailing and Car Care Forum
if you are talking about a paint clay bar ? then you throw it out basically it will pick up small bits of dirt and rocks which are hard to remove without embeding it more in the cars paint -
a valve stem is about $1 each and to replace them after means to remove the tire up to you on costs
-
they may have a longer set the offset is bigger on the new rims causing more of it to be taken up by the rim and not the bolt it should help relive the pressure there should be a spacer kit from h and r since you are on one of the most popular bolt patterns basically has newer longer bolts to go on the rims but the spacer has flush fit nuts that recess into the spacer it might work if they make it and there is room for it under the fender

Dog Bone, Tranmission Fluid & Air Filter
SKperformance replied to amanda's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
i forgot to answer the over filling part basicaly if you overfill the oil for the engine it will cause splashing which causes oil foaming and cavataition meaning the oil can no longer do its job also reduces it heat diapation properties and uses more gas as it it is moving against the oil now when the crank turns and dips in the oil pan in the tranny it will basically do the same but manily only make air bubbles -
i would say there is more pressure on that side of the car which usually happens another question is are the studs long enough to get a good grip on the rims and nut sometimes if they are shorter they will cause an increase in pressure near the end of the nut which has a very low threshold for pressure are you usign spacers at all for the new rims?
-
8 studs ? are the rims original toyota/lexus ones do you have the proper nuts? as they have a special tapered edge that toyota likes to use that might be the reason they are breaking go to the dealer and order one and look if there is a difference
-
i think what you are saying is you bought some suspension that is an adjustable strut and eibach springs and you want to know if you should replace them and get coilovers instead right? if you like the ride then keep what you have coilovers are only good for ride height adjusments anything that is more adjustable cost a good bit of change
