Did a little googling and called the lexus dealer. I hate this kind of simple yet complicated stuff. Anyways might need a a zero point calibration for the yaw rate sensor and steering angle sensor and or if that does not work to replace my AVS Actuator.

This is all of course after forgetting I need an alignment as well and I never cleaned my wheel sensors. They say that's not the issue. There is definitely a problem and it makes for some pretty non-confident driving. It's a rotation issue I think

Meh I don't wanna change my wheels to stock lol! Such a pain.

Why don't you clean the sensors. It's fairly simple DIY, and then you can be sure that it's not the dirt on those sensors is causing your problem.

Not equipped to do it really where I live. I agree doing that would not take much time. Is there a way to access the wheel sensor without taking the wheels off?

Just get the jack out, pull each wheel, and clean em. Not hard to do. Then like the op mentioned, you can be sure that dirt on them is not the issue.

Ok I kind of have an idea where it is. Behind the rotors. Google was not the best info finder but anyrate worth a try.

Ok well some interesting developments. Unfortunately I have not checked the sensors yet. Not really a great set up in this garage for checking anything. However I decided to get an alignment after way too long and they found camber in the rear pass side and front driver side wheels. Now that I see them it's pretty clear why the computer might be going a bit crazy. So I am gonna prob go back to stock wheels and take off the hub spacers till I get get my new custom wheels in. Maybe a month or so. With the stock wheels I can check the sensors allot easier as well.
