  1. Thank you diggifant I got the car checked by 2different garage yesterday the 1st garage put it on a MOT ramp with shakers. They couldn't find any play in ball joints or inna tie rob. They told me car was firm no movement or play in suspension They reckon it's the steering rack inna gear. After leaving the garage I noticed the car feel alot better no knocking noise or pulling But car still steer to the left. 2nd garage done a diagnostic test which stated lost communication to steering angle sensor. So we unplug all connections on the steering rack one connection had quite ABIT of rush on it. We agreed that it's the steering rack and the column uj joint that is the issues. Sitting in the car the steering wheel got a slight play knocking noise when I rack it slowly from centre. Steering wheel is not centered when driving straight it sit to the left and car pull to the left and got a slight movement when driving around town. over 50mph steering doesn't move as much and feel the way it should. Basically I got to keep correcting my car as I go along the road it's noticed more when I am driving around town. The knocking noise has calmed down alot for now and the steering feels like I got more resistant since taken it to both garage. Can anyone tell me if all is300h use the same steering rack. My car is a F sport.
  2. Rear left control arm bolt he said was loose but they tightened up every bolt on chassis. I had the car on ramp a few times to check for play in suspension, only thing I noticed was the steering rack making a horrible sound when steering is at full lock on both sides. Sound like metal to metal. Mechanic said there is nothing wrong with the rack but the noise doesn't sound right. lexus tec also told me there is nothing wrong with the rack From what I rememberd The car hit an island in the road front left wheel from then the car feel unstable especially driving around town anything I go over on the road I feel it in the steering, knocking noise anything I go over. Front Wheel also feel like they are doing their own thing at low speed car start to pull to the left now last geometry was done in August. question I want to ask can the ball joint be damaged by the I check car today there is quite alot of play in stabilizer links ball joint got ABIT of movement that raise my concern. Inna tie rod got play too. I am going to change inna tie rod, stabilizer links, ball joints , to see if this sort out the knocking, & unstable steering.
  3. I am having the same issue. What boobs said is exactly what I was thinking. I took my is300h f sport to dealer to get it check and geometry got car back noise was gone car feel more stable on the road dealer told they tightened chassis bolt front and rear of the car
  4. Thank you for your reply I was thinking the same about getting a pre_facelift Is within my budget at the moment they are coming up at a high price. I was hoping to trade my rx450h in with cash ontop to buy the is out right. Does the fsport come in different spec?
  5. Hi everyone I currently got a 2010 lexus rx450h had it for 5years now best car ever. I am thinking about changing to a lexus is300h f sport or a nx300h f sport I do alot of driving commuting to work I love the power and comfort of my rx450h but it's just time for a change Is it worth paying so much for the facelift version of the lexus is300h and a lexus is300h.??
