No Rear Diff?
I am fairly new to Lexus maint but have some knowledge on how cars work and how to work on them.
I have a 2010 Rx350.
I do not know why but I really thought that it had a drive shaft. Apparently it does not.
So I crawled under it today to change the rear diff fluid.....only there was no rear diff?
That one threw me a little...but I am guessing that is the case for a 2wd.
So that takes me to my next question...
I keep the oil changed. I recently had the dealer flush the tranny.
Are there any other fluids that I should be swapping? (I am not talking about brake fluid or coolant..etc)
I am guessing this does not have a transfer case as it is only 2wd.
So the oil and tranny is it?

You are correct. You have a front wheel drive model, so engine oil, ATF, coolant and brake fluid are all there is to change. Only the all wheel drive models have a drive shaft, transfer case and rear differential. Power steering is electric.
I am surprised you did not know your vehicle was FWD before attempting to work on it. I trust you did not think you had bought an AWD model!
