simular to mine but just when i come to stop.

a single click, more like a clonk? Normally the slider pins starting to corrode, they clonk as they suddenly move rather than moving freely. But it could also be the pads moving within the callipers, or your wheel nuts are very loose. this makes sence when i took my calipers off the pin that holds them all in was a bit rusty ,pitted , can i buy these alone?

Mine is something definitely with the drivers caliper.when pulling up to stop .im talking less than 1 mph.

which bits are the slide pins are those the pins with the clip on the end that holds the pad in? if so im sure i did this with copperslip?

hi the only way i can describe it is when i pull up on my drive or up to a junction i can here a clicking its definatly the brakes . just the drivers side i think

thats a shame i didnt see this in time ive got a brand new 25mm core rad for a is200 with the auto connections that i bought and ended up with 2 for some reason , its just sat in my garage now.its a nippon type and its a perfect fit like for like with the lexus on i took off

hi has anyone ever had this problem , i could hear it chattering when going over bumps , to my inspection the disc back plate has cracked , would it hurt if i just took it off? what does it do? anyone got one? look in my wanted ads theres a pic in there of it , cheers

merged duplicate thread

hi ive got a is200 2001 auto that runs great including the auto box , the only grumble ive got really is that when im just tootling around town in traffic ect around 30mph or slower its grumbles into gear , this only ever does it every now and then not all the time , the car has just clicked over 152k , the oil looks ok and it doesnt smell bad , ive no idea what the dif oil is like , what diff oil is to be used in these cars , i know about the toyota special oil for the autobox and i shall use that. i rung a gearbox specialist up yesterday and he said theres no point at all changing the oil and the noise is just the box wearing out , how the hell does he know without looking at it?

sorted now -10 both sides.cheers tony

ill ring them again tomorrow and see why they have done it like that , he did it with my reg number and that gave him the settings he said he try and do them close to that , i could do with a letter from you to give me some amunition.lol

it was only ever a temp car whilst my turbo on my ford galaxy was fixed.

no idea? i gave them the sheet to work to and he said no probs , he also said the numbers were like imperial and metric but the same , i know it feels a lot better than it did.

hi again , took the car to wingerworth and they didnt want to know basicly , so i rung hawleys tyres sheffield and he put these settings into the car , i gave him tonys wim settings aswell and he said these were as close to his as he could get them. the car feels really good on the road so i hope this has solved it....tony what do you think to the readings?

yes ill just give them tonys settings so i know there bob on before i sell her.

sorted (thanks tony bones) , booked in on monday in chesterfield. wingerworth tyres they know all about this problem.

no spacers on the rear , just 225s rear and 215 front.

hi ive got 225 45 17s on the back and 215 45 17s on the front , this is how i bought the car , the spare was a new 215 45 17 and i put that on the front , well over the last few weeks ive noticed that the inner rears have worn bald and the fronts are getting really worn aswell , ive got 6.5mm on the outside of the fronts and 3.0mm on the inners up to now , ive heard of a guy called tony that setts these cars up but i think hes on london somewhere , ive also heard that lexus or national tyres settings for the tracker are wrong , where could i take it reound me , im near chesterfield or sheffield , can anyone help? just had 2 part worns fitted to the rear and he took them off and to my amazement they were down to the wires , not good to say id just been on hol in it.
