I'll have to get my jack out and take a look. Cheers.

I will take a look at this. Thanks.

Hi John and Co, I am a dab hand with car mechanics but the Lexus is new to me. Is there a workshop manual out there I can get to give me a clue? I know Lexus are basically a luxury version of Toyota and wondered if I could get a Haynes manual or similar so I can pull it to bits more easily! Mine is the 2006 GS 450H. The wirring noise seems to only take place from the LHS front. There is no sign of the wheels being the cause of the problem.I wondered whether there is a brake disc guard that when turning is distorting slightly and scraping against the disc or similar. Cheers folks. Lorne

Hi Lee, Thanks. I've been on here for a while but not actively participated until now. I think I had to re-sign up having lost my original log in details It's the kind of sound I might expect if there is a brake disc stone protector plate that is rubbing against something as I steer. It is not sharp metallic. More a whirr! I do not have to steer much and it happens if I steer in either direction. I am quite practical and mechanically minded and don't mind jacking the car up or lifting the bonnet to check out further if need be. Cheers.. Lorne

I have a Lexus 450H of 2006 vintage! When I turn the steering wheel I get a noise presumably from the power steering pump. Is this a fluid issue or a replacement issue? Where is the fluid top up if there is one? Where would I get a new pump from and is there another Toyota model that uses the same pump that might be easier to get via Euro Car Parts or Halfords? (Modge in Essex England). Many thanks.
