CINTELA

I have cured the problem on my car by swapping round the clips that go at either end of the brake pad. i.e. the top clips are now on the bottom. This now pushes the brake pad as far forward as it can go, so there is no space for the pads to move into and therefore no noise :) . I dont know if someone in the past has put my clips on the wrong ends or if they were ment to be like that ???.

I changed the pads at the weekend and used lots of copper grease but the noise is still there although not as often. I will turn the stereo up a bit for now and take another look next weekend :duh:

This is now the second braking problem I have had in three months(IS 200 X reg). :yack: This time when I brake there is a clunking noise, it sounds like the brake pads are moving thus causing the noise. I took it to Lexus and the mechanic agreed that the noise was coming from the pads but he wanted to change both front calipers at a cost of £700. I will try changing the pads this weekend but they dont appear to be worn too much. Any ideas?

I got the car back today. It turned out to be a wheel bearing that was causing the problem. This was affecting the speed sensors and causing the abs to come on. :duh:

The dealer have agreed to repair the car, it goes in on monday. :)

There are no warning lights appearing on the dash when this happens. I have tried switching off the TR control but it still happens.

Hi everyone,

I have just purchased a 2000 (x reg) IS 200 with 42000 miles on it, the car is excellent to drive but every time i stop the car there is a buzzing noise and vibration through the brake pedal. I am thinking that it must be the ABS but it happens even at slow speeds. This only occurrs for about half a second just as the car stops. Has anyone came across this problem before or know of any way to fix this.
