Lexus is all about customer satisfaction, in my case not even so much of an accident, road hazard probably would describe it better but either way after just owning the RX for a few months and major repair, Lexus was willing to cover the incidental repair 100% and I'm a happy camper

 

OP, same thing happened to me. My bolt broke due to rust or overtightened by previous owner on my 07 rx350

How did you fix the problem? Did you happen to find a replacement bolt and metal spacer from lexus?

BTW, the metal spacer comes out fairly easily if you put a screwdriver tip on it and hammer it out..

 

Wow, only $65 for the pair. What a deal, NOT. Seems to me like you are trying to sell something here on Club Lexus. That would be a TOS violation.

 

I just fixed mine for $1 with a genuine part from Lexus

if you look at the bottom box where the bolt broke off you’ll see it screwed into a metal block if you push down on the metal block it will come out the bottom When I did that there was a tail of the bolt left and I was able to “ un-screw it”

I actuall all went to a Toyota dealership and as soon as they saw the part they knew what it was they sold me one for a buck


i just pushed the net block back in from the bottom(the raised tip should be pointed up) snapped the new bolt in place and everything was good Much better than the $500 dollars quoted ”

 

These and some M5-15 washers will do the trick! Or if you find some to drill a hole into a coin the size of a nickel, that will work, too. #TrialandError
