Since last week, I have been hearing clunking noise every time my right rear tire hits any sort of bumps at over 30mph, which gradually become louder and I took the car to the shop to see what's wrong with the car.
It happens that one of the screws has broke and left stucked in one of the caliper.

Does anyone know the cause of these?
I dont think the dealer changed the pads when I went in for the brake pad TSIB (2006 IS350).
car is 43k miles as of today.
Does anyone think I could get reimbursements from Lexus?




the right side is broken


the other corresponding hole has a screw stucked in it.

How long has that been sitting in a junk yard?

 

man that makes me feel real sorry for cars that have to endure winters up north... that's off a 06 with only 43k miles... my car doesn't look like that anywhere and its a 93 with almost 200k miles...

 

damn I live in NYC and have a 2000 with 78K on it and my calipers look nothing like that. Whats up with all the rust?

 

yea seriously...mines a 93 with 170k miles and i dont even have that lol!

 

haha i dont know why
the car stayed in buffalo and rochester and now in NYC.
i washed the car weekly though..
oh well..

 

WOW that is horrible. Definitely see what Lexus can do about it.

 

wow haha that looks like 15 year old calipers

 

I'm having the same problem! I have 85k miles on m 2002 is300. I guess Ill look for that next
