Just recently, i have been experiencing a weird noise. Every time i get a carwash, my es300 makes a noise that sounds as if something is hitting the bottom of the car every time i accelerate from a stop. Scenario would be as stated:

Get car washed/ pull out to light/ stop/ accelerate/ single thud noise sounds like its coming from left front/ and does this for about 10 minutes after.

Could it be wet brakes? although it doesn't sound like a noise brakes me. If anyone has any idea of what i'm talking about, id really appreciate it

 

Next time, use the parking breaks instead of the normal breaks, and see if the noise is still there.

It will at least give you a starting point.

Would the brakes me able to even make the noise? its almost a popping noise of sorts

 

Turns out the lugnuts were loose, very loose, good thing i checked them when i did becuse 3 had falled off the 2 wheels and the remaining ones were able to be removed by hand

 

Very, Very, deadly mistake!!!
