I FINALLY GOT THE NOISE PROBLEM FIXED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, TEST DROVE IT WITH THE LEAD TECHNICIAN AND POINTED OUT THE NOISE IT WAS MAKING. HE WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS THE "HUB SEALS" OR "AXLE SEALS" ON THE BACK TIRES. I BELIEVE THEY BOTH ARE THE SAME THING. THEY REPLACED THEM AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE. I HOPE THIS HELPS.

HI, I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2003 RX300 AND I AM JUST STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS "DARGETH". AFTER I AM DRIVING FOR A WHILE EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP THERE IS SOME SORT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK TIRES. SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS AS IF A MOTOR IS WINDING DOWN OTHER TIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE A LIGHT SCREECH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME THOUGH. ACTUALLY SINCE IT STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEN IT IS RAINING IT BARELY MAKES THE NOISE. MAKES ME THINK THAT SOMETHING BACK THERE NEEDS TO BE OILED OR LUBRICATED. I TOOK IT IN ONCE TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR ONLY HAS 2500 MILES ON IT. IF ANYONE ELSE GETS AN ANSWER TO THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. B)

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I JUST BOUGHT MY RX300 IN FEBRUARY. IT REALLY STARTED MAKING A TAPPING OR TICKING NOISE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I JUST CAME FROM MY 1,000 SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A TYPICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE RX300. THEY SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH THE INJECTORS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MY TICKING NOISE COMES FROM THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY 99 RX300 NEVER MADE THIS NOISE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. ANYONE OUT THERE WITH HELP ON THIS ONE? THANKS
