Default clunk noise from the front passenger side?

have anyone have the clunk noise come from the front passenger side when you slow down about 30 mph, and the clunk noise only hear once, but every time I slow down from higher speed and I heard clunk noise, just one clunk, sound like the sway bar link end, or the strut loose? but i only hear when I slow down from the speed above 40mph, that weird

This could be the famous THUMP noise from the transmission. It happens on a slow down at ~ 30 mph. If it is, there is a TSB on it. Sounds like a thump or a clunk.

I did the TSB since I missed the warranty limit. I did a DIY on it. Parts $50 and takes 1 hour to do. Do a search on clunk or thump.

Default Cabin Noise

For the first couple of weeks that I had my RX350 I had the craziest noise. It wasnt loud but you noticed it. And it only happened when I applied the brakes. I looked all over the car to make sure nothing I had put in was loose.

Then I had my parents riding in my car. And I noticed the noise wasnt there. It was the front passenger seat belt banging against the side of the seat.

My noise was the plastic cover of the roofrack on the front of the rails, driver side. Will be fixed under CPO warranty shortly...
