Hi, just to let you know the creaking noise has gon now from my front end when i go over speed bumps slow, the other week i had all my wheels off and painted my brake calipers, but befor that i gave all the joints and everything a good spray of wd 40 then after a good spray with grease.

Been a few weeks now and i canot here a thing now over the bumps, I think everyone should take there wheels off a least once a year and give the joints and everything a good spray. because everything looks dry and rust.

thanks steve

Last July I bought a Lexus RX 400h in trying to experience “the pursuit of perfection”. I noticed immediately that the suspension of my car was making an unusual sound (knocking noise), when the car was driven over small humps or small potholes at low speed. The dealer for nearly three months was trying to discover what the cause of such a noise is. They changed many parts including shock absorbers, top mounts and bushes. They tried hard to find the problem and had to call a mechanic from Lexus Europe who came to inspect the car. After thorough testing they came into the conclusion that the noise is coming from the inner valve of the shock absorbers and they said it is not dangerous. They gave this in writing. They also tested many new cars and some were making this noise while others were not. Is your car making such a noise when driven at low speed (>25 mph) over small humps? I would greatly appreciate your answers. Thank you.

My RX300 does the same. I need to go ocer 13 speed bumps a quarter of a mile road before getting home and I have noticed that if I go over the bumps in a certain way then I can hear the thud noise.

Hi. yes my IS 200 sport year 2000 does the same going slow over speed bumps.

ta, steve
