How is that possible when you're STOCK?? Unless you hit something and messed up the suspension geometry.

lets be honest, how often do you fully steer to one side? i know i do on RARE occasions. probably like once a week. I wouldn't be worried about it, but this is very unlikely to happen. Go complain to your Lexus dealer.

This happens to every 2IS. It is very slight rubbing.

Where is the rubbing - on the inner liner? If it's on the liner, it WILL wear right through eventually. One thing I've noticed, as you approach full turn on the steering wheel, the self-centering is lost and the wheels continue to tighten the turn themselves (this is when turning slowly in a parking lot) - weird!

As far as what the dealer says....... wow, I've never heard that before! (NOT!)

I didnt know mine rubbed sometimes untl i saw a slight clean area on the fender linner and saw that the tire was rubbing. Im talking about something impossible to determine.
maybe you hit a pot hole or soemthing that made the tire hit the top of the linner. making it move slightly and making you rub now.
did you fix it?
