Help needed
Hello,
I was driving my rx today and I heard a weird noise. I will admit that the Goodyear Fortera tires are noisy so the sound may be present for a while but I noticed it today. I just left my driveway and I could hear from the rear tires, I believe the passenger's rear tire, a thud thud thud noise. The sound disappeared after a few minutes. But when I left the mall after the car has been stopped for a while a repeat performance. It appears that it only happens when the vehicle is cold, not moving, but will go away after a few minutes. I have stock sized tires and Lexus rims
I'm thinking a wheel-bearing issue.
Any thoughts,
Chris

Check tires, wheel well covering, free rotation of wheel when jacked up, and look under car for debret. I'd bet on something being loose or bubble on tire. Inspect that wheel area very carefully friend.

Hello,
The problem was both rear wheel bearing were gone. The repairs are done for $1197. I guess the tires are not as noisy as I initially thought. To be honest I'm a little disappointed that the wheel bearings had to be replaced with only 150 000 KM/95000 miles.
Any ideas,
Chris
