Having noticed a slight vibration on low speed braking a couple of months back and suspecting warped front discs, I had a good look all round. The front discs are certainly worn and the rears corroded/worn unevenly. With the RX due its 100K service this year and wishing to avoid any other inflated Lexus bills, I have decided to replace discs & pads all round myself. I have done this job on other marques in the past and am quite confident regarding the work required. I have researched the unique characteristics of the RX on this forum & others. Purchased the required genuine parts from Lexus Birmingham via e-bay, (£300 with free delivery,) ready for fitting when weather improves.
Whilst carrying out the job I intend to clean/inspect adjacent/associated parts including the parking brake & shields. To date I have been unable to find an exploded diagram of the rear hubs, parking brake & mountings which I understand are on the shields. I would much prefer to have such a diagram available before starting the job, (cos I`m paranoid,) and am hoping that any one of the very knowledgeable individuals on the forum can point me to such a PDF.
Any other advice from members regarding the work would of course be welcome.
