Hello everyone, i have a used 2005 RX 330, its about 2 months old. last week it would make a sound like something was hitting the right front drivers tire, when making a left turn. then it stopped, and now its started again, but is making noise again like something is hitting the tire, now at left and right turns.
Just wondering if anyone knows the problem and how much it will cost me, I'm taking to Lexus tomorrow, but I'm worried about the money.

 

why dont you jack up the vehicle, take off the wheel and take a look to see if anything is hanging loose. it will cost you nothing if its just a loose lower endlink bolt or what not.

 

thanks i'll try that.

 

I took the tire off couldn't see or hear anything that would make that noise. I guess its off to Lexus. Does anybody know is the transmission still under warranty when you have 105,000km on the car. I might be going nuts but i fell like the car sticks when changing gears from 2nd to 3rd when accelerating. I hope i didn't buy a lemon.

 

just to update you guys, took the car into Lexus, they said it was the drive shaft making the noise. Even with 105,000 km they said it was under warranty and the they would fix it for free. Does that mean i don't have to pay even for the labor? and by any chance does anyone have an idea what the drive-shaft cost if i had to pay for it.

 

Warranty work is just that, the work is covered by your warranty.
Everything related to that job too.

 

driveshaft is around 200. probably more at dealer prices
