Default first road trip in the Lex

well, just got back from my first road last nite in the lex. had to go up to the mountains in Greenville, S.C. the car handled great going through those turns up in the mountains. now im even more ready to get rid of the 20's on the car though. i cant even count how many times i heard them rub. only real complaint from the car is the steering wheel. going through all of those turns i couldnt seem to find a comfortable spot on the wheel. maybe its just to big from what i was used to. another thing right before i got back home i started to hear a kind of clanking sound. it sounded like something was stuck in the tire ...i think it might be the u-joints but other than that ...the trip was great and i cant wait for smaller wheels and a 2jzTT

The SC steering wheel is definitely big and I have the same issue like you. I just can't find a
sweet spot to hold the wheel.
