Ive had a small ticking noise from the suspension when it hits small bumps. It has makes a knock after tight turns. I took it into the dealership at 5k and they acknowledged the problem but couldnt find anything.

Im about to take it in fo rthe 10k and would like to be able to provide them with a little more info on it.??

 

when I am backing up then I stop and put the car in drive my car makes a weird ticking noise also. And it sometimes does it when I am turning. The dealership said that they didnt know what it was either.

 

Mine is one large tick, not a series of ticking. What bothers me is that the front suspension steers the car, if something breaks at highway speedI could fly off the road and die in a fiery Lexus inferno...

 

is it a tick or more like a creak? And also is your VIN number before or after the following JTHCH96S760002242

My vin is before the one listed above, and I have a intermittent tick and seems to only come from the drivers side when making left or right hand turns at low speeds, or even u-turns and I have less than 700 miles on the car, GS300 ml/nav

 

Could it simply be the brake pads shifting in the calipers? I don't have a 3GS, but my 2GS makes this noise all the time and that's what it is.

Well there is a TSB out for bushings that make a creaking noise at generally low - med speed over uneven road surfaces for vehicles before the VIN number I posted earlier. I had it on my car but it was more like somone steping on an old floorboard kinda creak than a tick.
