At 95k with a few issues
At 95k with a few issues
Hello all. I am getting ready to hit 95k and I just took my 2008 IS 350 to get an oil change. The dealership said that the rear driver's side caliper is stuck and that my water pump is beginning to leak. Are these issues pretty common for my age and mileage?
I have tried to un-stick a caliper before (1998 GS 400) by greasing back up the sliding pin. This didn't work and I ended up having to replace the caliper anyway. Do you guys think it is worth trying to grease up the sliding pin or should I just do the full replacement?
For the water pump Lexus quoted me at $1080. I know that I will probably get a better quote anywhere other than Lexus but I was wondering what price I should be aiming for. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do this on my own.
Thank you!

My 2IS' water pump was replaced at only 27k miles under warranty. My rear calipers were replaced DIY with new, OEM calipers. One caliper was 100% seized and I wasn't even able to release it with a BFG and heat!.

Thanks for all of the advice! I completely forget that Memorial Day Weekend was upon us. I will have DIY time so I am going to attempt the water pump myself. I ordered the Aisin water pump from Amazon. Do you all think I should attempt to replace anything else while I'm in that area of the car?
For the caliper, replace the rubber boots as wel when you regrease the pins. The way it's designed it super easy for water and crud to get in there and seize it so try to make it as tight as possible.
