I lowered my is250 and came across an annoying problem. The axle boots came off and all the grease came out. After I replace the axles, what can I do so that I dont have this problem again? Im really trying to avoid raising it. I've looked into Roll center adapters, but my mechanic said it wouldnt work because the lexus axles are pop in and not bolt in. I need help with this guys!

 

You must have an AWD model huh?

 

Yeah i do...

 

MANY AWD owners report having half shaft/boot issues after lowering their vehicles; its a own "issue" unfortunately. Oddly though most of the owners with this issue are running coilovers AND are lowered ALOT more than those (like you) with just springs.

Any AWD owners have any idea of how one might get around the half shaft/boot issues?

 

im actually on coils bro, i doubt this would've happened on a 2inch drop with springs

 

Hey whats your measurement from fender (at the top of the wheel well) to ground? the safe spot is at 24.5"-25"

I have an awd too, coils sitting in storage, waiting for the snow to melt!
