Bobling sound over right front tire
Ive been getting a bobbling and slight banging noise over right front tire when going down paved road but yet a little chewed up road especially where the tire tracks and treads the road. I have an 2004 rx and am afraid to go to dealer where they might tell me a $5000. Repair. Has anyone experienced this kind of noise. I've had it for about two monthe\s and there is no swaying of tires or pulling in any direction tires are filled with air to specs and they still have 5/32 tread on them they are the michelins mvx4s i believe.

You could have a broken strut, amongst other issues. The only way to find out is to get the vehicle looked at. You do not need to go to the Lexus dealer, you are out of warranty. Go to a Toyota shop. Go to a local independent shop. But you need to go some place to have it looked at to make a determination what the problem is. If it is $5K, it is $5K. But at least you will know.

Could be something as simple as the strut mount on top is bad....part is around $80 and then of course labor. Another piece would be the sway bar mount came loose....
