:)Proved to be a faulty calliper in the end! (after a second viewing). Now all sorted! Cheers.

Tyres are only 1,000 miles old. Back in the garage for another look over. Thank you for your comments - will update next week.

No, all tight as a drum (what ever that means..)

Both discs changes and yes wheels tight! (cannot recall disc make yet not some cheap stuff). My mechanic has checked the callipers which seem to be fine...? Any ideas? Cheers.

Thanks Mike - yet already tried this. Any other ideas? Cheers.

Hello to you all. Managed to finally sort out my wobble under braking - turned out to be a F/O/S warped hub - hurray! However now 6 months later - just developed an intermittent violent steering wheel wobble which can occur at any driving speed over 35 mph - this does not appear to be linked to braking. Wheels balanced and ball joints replaced - any notion as what I should try next..? Thank you.

Hello, I feel that my IS200 is suffering from the dreaded ‘sticking callipers’ on the front wheels. My 'old school' mechanic is keen to clean them up, yet would you recommend replacing instead? Thank you.

Okay, thanks chaps. All the best to you....

Hello, Timing belt and tenisioner changed in March 2008 at 102,000 miles. Now on 143,000 miles - should I consider changing yet? Also what else should be changed at the same time? Cheers. (And a happy Easter to you all).

Cheers Noby, have a good weekend

Hello noby76. Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I will keep with the tyres for the time being due to the desire not to waste money. I take your point about the name yet how is one to know when tyre names ( as with most items), are designed to sell rather than inform? ...are well you live and learn. All the best to you Lexus Owners.

Previous tyres consisted of a variety of non branded cheap jobs....

Recently had fitted 4 Dunlop Sport Maxx TT tyres (215/ 45/17). The drive quality has dropped like a stone. It has gone from a smooth ride to feeling every bump. Have I just made a poor tyre choice? (I have tried lowering the psi from 33 down to 30 will no improvement). Help! Cheers.

(My previous posting appears to have an error with it) I am considering buying an SC and have a budget of £8000. I have a concern regarding the suspension on early models (?), is there any issues with the ride quality or any other issues that i should be aware of? Thank you.

Thank you Paul, anyone else out there who would care to comment, in particular when did the suspension improvements take place? All the best.
