My 2010 LS 460 had the Control Arms replaced at 45,196 miles. It was 5 months out of the 48 month warranty, so Lexus paid for the new front control arms and I had to pay for the Labor, $1300. Now, I am hearing a clicking sound at low speeds when I am turning in either direction. I can hear it with the windows rolled up and the radio on, it is fairly pronounced. The vehicle now has 51,350 miles on it. Any ideas what this could be?

I'm not mechanically inclined but I would venture a guess at your wheel bearings maybe...

If the car is awd, have the cv joints checked out. Otherwise wheel bearing could be bad.

tbilisi79 nailed it. CV joints (if AWD) or wheel bearings.

Since Lexus did the previous work, I would start with them first. and double check their work.

Just a quick update. Took it to the dealer and they did a variety of test and simple repairs, including tightening everything down. Eventually, they had to use suspension ears to isolate the sound coming from the wheel bearing hubs, There was light corrosion in the hubs which they removed and they re-greased everything. All was covered by the 6 year 70k drive train warranty. All good now!

Thanks for the update. Often times guys won't let us know what ended up being the problem. I'm always thankful I bought the extended warranty on my LS460, especially since I've had my control arm bushing replaced and brake actuator.
