When I first bought my 2009 IS250 from a Lexus dealer, my first big holiday trip was down to Austria. When down there, I noticed a rumbling noise from the front right wheel which intensified when weight was put on it due to cornering loads, which is a classic sign of a worn wheel bearing.

On my return to the UK, I took it into my local dealer as it was under a Lexus used car warranty and a technician came with me and drove the car and heard it straight away, but his diagnosis was worn front tyres. He did put it on a ramp and checked the wheels but came to the same conclusion. I subsequently changed the half worn tyres and needless to say the noise remained. A different technician at the same dealer then pronounced, yes it was a faulty wheel bearing which got changed and of course the noise went away.

My wife made a pithy remark, that I should send the invoice for the 2 new tyres to the dealer as they were not the problem at all.

All this goes to show that Lexus technicians are not infallible.

Hi Bernie,
I have a problem with my 2006 IS250 and i've tried everything. Don't know what it is, can you please look at the video i made for it and suggest? wheel bearing? front axle? differential oil? back axle? i'm loosing my mind. The sound seems to be from the front driver side. Replaced the front wheel bearings (driver and passenger side) about 2 times.
My mechanics are currently suggesting it may be a bad "auxiliary", "differential", "short differential oil", front axle or back axle. The issue is, there's no way to be sure as most mechanics here in Nigeria do guess work mostly.
Please help
