Pics of the mounts while on the lift:

Experiencing some clicking noise coming from the front driver-side on my LX470 (with AHC). Also, hard to describe... occasional "loosey goosey" feeling particularly when coming to a stop... kinda like the wheels come to a stop and then the body lurches forward ever-so-slightly. So I took to a...

FWIW, it is the Lexus LX470 that I have, and it does have AHC. The notes from the shop say: REPLACE BROKEN FRAME MOUNTS BEHIND THE FRONT WHEELS AND AT THE VERY REAR OF THE BODY TO FRAME MOUNTS ( THIS INCLUDES ALL NEEDED REMOVAL AS NEEDED FOR BRAKE LINES, FUEL LINES, A/C SYSTEM AND SO ON ) (...

Here's a link to a video from the shop. This demonstrates the noise that prompted me to take it into the shop for diagnosis. https://services.shop-ware.com/uploads/v1/original/pub8hb9BFnVy5M42umlE5 Here are some photos they took of the mounts:

Search yes, posted no. Couldn’t find anything on the subject other than here. I’ll make a post over there.

Any idea whether this applies to 100-series as well? Have an LX470 with a weird noise happening. Local shop has diagnosed driver-side mount "has a large space from the nut to the bottom of the bushing (10mm): especially compared to the passenger side (8mm), which is also beginning to tear"...

Well that’s kind of the rub… I’ve done a lot and you can see I still experience excessive fuel smell and venting problems on occasion. This is an incredibly frustrating design flaw that doesn’t have a guaranteed diagnosis or procedure that will work for everyone. You can see in my photos my...

Check my posts in this thread.

No as it’s not an issue unique to the mod. Happens to stock vehicles too. In fact, I got the LRA on my first 100 as one component in a larger effort to address the excessive fuel smells we’d get from time to time. While it didn’t fix the problem, I can’t overstate how much more “livable” the...

I’ve never witnessed gas coming back up and out of my tank. But I’m fairly certain I’ve experienced boiling, along with excessive venting and fuel smells in the cabin and around the rear outside. Ethanol or no-ethanol … hasn’t made a difference on either 100 I’ve owned. I know that’s anecdotal...

FWIW, have said it here already itt, but I ran ethanol-free gas in my LRA tank with no positive impact.

I wrench on things when time allows... which is exceedingly rare these days as we are busy trying to move from Omaha to Arvada. So the LX goes to Toyo Techs here in Omaha for big deal items or when I just don't have the time... thus, they're doing the oil change and fixing the air filter. I'll...

Oh that makes sense now, thanks! Will see about dropping a new filter in there. As for the foam, do you have any pics that could guide me as to how I could apply it?

Just got back to Omaha. Return trip was sans U-Haul trailer... and also sans any irregular fuel tank pressure or gas smells. Coolant temp never got over 194... which only occurred during the 2pm hour when it was reading 93 degrees outside, and I was doing ~85mph. During this time it fluctuated...

@2001LC , I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'm going to respond to some of the points just as a matter of setting the record straight, as I think the pictures may be misleading you. Not trying to be argumentative, but I will say I don't think trying to ascertain "wrencher...
