Hello all! I have a '21 LS 500 F Sport. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a slight knocking/popping noise when turning at low speeds? I noticed this issue shortly after replacing my rotors/pads (OEM) at 75k. 2 different mechanics have been unable to diagnose the issue so far. Heard about the GS F Sport rotors making a similar noise - Lexus’ “solution” was to replace the 2-piece rotors with 1-piece ones. The sound is driving me crazy!

I would go with one piece rotors if I didn’t mind the expense.
I agree with The Car Care Nut when it comes to FSport option on the LS500.

 

I have similar issue on a 2018, lexus have not identified anything wrong with the steering. The knocking is not consistent. I have noticed that in wet weather I cannot hear anything.

 

I was thinking about switching to 1-piece rotors to see if it eliminates the problem but the Lexus parts dept. told me that it was not an option for the LS F Sport...

 

I've heard of others having similar issues. Unfortunately, there are not enough LS 500 owners out there for Lexus to make an effort to address this.

 

you would have to buy aftermarket, as the Lexus rotors won't fit is the reason. The F-sport rotors are bigger. I have not heard a knocking from steering and I have an Fsport. I already struggle with the sunroof sound so that would drive mr crazy as well.

 

My sunroof makes noise too but only when driving up the driveway. I've never had a Lexus with these annoying creaks and sounds. I wonder why my previous rotors did not make noise - perhaps over time the 2 pieces corroded together lol.
