Brake pad shift???
My IS350 makes a wierd popping sound when i back up and hit the brakes and then go forward and hit the brakes... ie pulling out of the garage. I called to make an appointment at the dealership and the service adviser told me that it is just brake pad shift. Basicly the pad just moves back and forth in the caliper, front i think. I think this is bull@#$% myself. Just wanted to get everyones opinion.

I have the same exact noice, everyday the first time i put my car into reverse and back out of the garage, as soon as i release the brakes and start stepping on the gas i hear (clang!), I don't
think because most of our do this, that it's "ok"..Since no other cars do this it's obviously
some kind of design flaw, we all bought lexus on part , not to hear these kind of noises... If that were the case I would of bought a Ford..

I don't hear any pops or clangs, but I will often hear a slight groaning when backing up first thing in the morning. Once the car has been driven a few miles, backing up is silent. It only started making noise recently.

Its not a design flaw.
My 96 honda did this too. If it was a design flaw then it would of been corrected 10+ years ago.
Maybe they don't want the brake pads to be 100% exact fit into the calipers. Which makes sense because if they were replacing the pads would be a biitch and nearly impossible.

I think somebody commented on this in the past as well. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe somebody said that the IS uses floating calipers? Oh yeah, mine does this too so I assumed that this was normal.
