Slight steering wheel woble
Fixed mine finally, the corrosion from up north here between the wheels and the rotors. Took a wire brush and made it smooth and put some antisieze. Much smoother drive now. Did 3 out of 4 wheels, ran out of time to do the last one. I found my rear brakes were shot, so I had to take time to do them. Love how easy they are to do. But my rotors were wearing funny, so going to replace them this week.
The wheel wobble wasn't big, it would come and go, worse when first starting to drive. I figured it was the brakes and the rust under the rotor to the hub, but it wasn't. GM specs 0.001 to 0.002" max thickness of anything under the rotor. So it must be smooth, else you will feel it in the wheel. Guessing Lexus is the same.
