maybe this is a sign not to mod...

I bought LEXUS Parts and had them installed @ Lexus Dealership... What went wrong..

Don't be discouraged, Lexus and the owners will get this resolved. At least your install is specifically and explicitly affirmed in the fitment guide. Mine SHOULD work, but doesn't....so let's see if we can get some pattern here.

I believe, truly, that this is just a poorly written installation guide, OR the fact that many Lextechs don't actually READ the instructions in a detailed fashion, which may contribute to this... if it's the latter, Lexus will issue a bulletin and all will be resolved.

Until they issue a bulletin we have to drive with this awful noise ? Did you ever get your car resolved? Mine is a 2007 GS350 AWD.

I apologize, I completely forgot about AWDs in the poll.. but no, my noise is unresolved.

Mods: Is there a way to modify the poll to include the 2007+ AWD w/Noise?

Please read my observations here (number 42):

Is anyone not starting to see the emerging pattern?

Explicit fitment: 2 of 3 vehicles have the noise problem thus far based upon the poll. 2 not explicitly excluded vehicles have the same noise.

The OEM part number is the same for all vehicles that have the noise, as listed, thus far... in other words, I should be able to yank the front sways and bushings from a 350 and put it on a 460 without an issue... so why is there a noise problem in the firrst place, and why won't this work on 430's/460's according to Lexus (or will it, and this is just a general manufacturing /design problem).

And the clock ticks on... lol.

It has to be a simple install issue like the direction of the gap in the bushing

Leeladisky · 07-23-09, 09:45 AM

Mods (read: 1SickLex): Is there a way to add a multiple choice to the poll? I need to determine, how many 350's, 430's or other vehicles, also have the "AVS system (Active Vehicle Suspension Sport/Norm)".... I have some high up people involved and they want this information as well, is there a way? We would need to be able to select a vehicle and then add the AVS as an option, otherwise there will be too many choices - LOL.
