Took my car to dealer today with 16400 miles ODO, they hear the noise but couldn't pin point what's cause the problem, show them the TSB but they said not apply to my car and that noise is not a safety concern and very common for Lexus!!?? They even blame because I put 19" Lexus forged wheels on the car that causing the noise.

I asked them if I pay for the replace rotors & pads so the noise gone then what they gonna do. They told me contact Lexus for that question.

The car making consistent ticking noise when driving in circle around 5-10 MPH and in-consistent same noise when going straight.

Sounds like the CV axle. Did the service people at the dealership looked into that part?

Same issue. Doesn't happen all the time but once in a while I get the "popping" sound when I'm turning the car all the way. Anyone know what is causing this?

"A most common symptom of a badly-worn outer CV joint is a clicking or popping noise when turning. Usually the noise gets louder when accelerating in turns. In worst cases, a badly-worn outer CV joint can even disintegrate while driving."

I don't think they looked into that yet. I'm contact Lexus now and they'll getting back to me early next week. Hopefully it not CV axle.

I'm sure it's not the CV axle. I posted about this back in 2012 when I bought the car. The ticking disappeared when I changed wheels oddly. Still don't quite know what's causing it but the CV axle is fine on my car.
