@welland have you managed to have the refurbished topmount fitted?

It's the top mount bearing. As mentioned Lexus will only supply the whole suspension arm. Looking at how easy it will be to send the top mount away for a new bearing.

Thanks for the replies. Have read lots about the top mount bearing being a problem and also the CV joint. Had a look in the wheel arch and can't see anything obviously untoward. Haven't had a look at the top mount. The car is booked into the garage on the 3rd so we will see what they say. There is also a sort of rumble/hollow noise from the passenger side wheel when we go over a pothole which might be related.

When manoeuvring at low speed with the steering on full lock there is an intermittent knocking noise from the passenger side front wheel area. This seemed to develop Into a constant creek when turning the wheel at any speed. Then a couple of days ago the creek stopped but the knocking is still there. Anyone else experienced similar? Another thing I've noticed is that when we bought the car I'm fairly certain the ride height indicator was not visible on the dashboard unless you changed the ride height to Low or High. However now it is constantly present. The indicator light isn't flashing or anything but it's always there. Is that normal?
