That last video posted showing the whole process is amazing. Just used a solid zip tie instead of a washer as I did not have one handy, and the problem is fixed (for now?)
yeah, me neither, hope I never do! Makes me wonder, though - what would cause that little ring gear to get misaligned? The first couple pix don't show any evidence of anybody taking it apart before - no broken spacers were found inside the gearcase, I presume?
Yikes, have we discovered an actual assembly mistake in a Lexus?
BTW, good fix! The washers look like the ones that go in garden hoses, yesno?
From the looks of it, it really isn't a design flaw. I'd say it's more of the fact that two metal pieces rubbing together can cause things wear wear off and shift or maybe the nut backed itself off a bit or something along those lines.
