please get this to a lexus dealership who is reputable. Their equipment and calibration to fix all the three to spec for the price you pay is well worth it. I paid $180 for my aligment with my local lexus dealer who fixed my issues. Before this, I paid two local shops $120 each and still...

Hi ih8mud fam, with the labor day weekend arriving, I am planning to buy parts for my lexus on discount/coupons for labor day. One confusion I am running into is the following, the 2011 LX 570 headlights are not interchangeable with toyota land cruiser (As far as I am aware), I see both the...

I think the labor is always cheaper in africa, pakistan, etc based on different videos I have see , but most of those videos are very rusty workmanship. This shop is almost like a shadow toyota factory, thats what makes this really beautiful to watch.

yeah I was like what is that?

Came across this eye candy video of restoring a rusted, mud filled LX570 by removing every part and restoring it back to new:

this is helpful post. Thanks.

what you are reporting is what we have discussed it in past. The transmission engagement is not as quick and perfect as I want it to be. I wait a few sec when I shift from park to drive or reverse before sending power to wheels to avoid this jerk.

3 SQOD: 1. What is the part no or bracket high holds this gap of bumper in place? (See pic) 2. How to replace the white reverse tail lights (see pic) 3: I messed up fixing the paint chip by over sanding and over spraying clear coat. Any ideas how it can be fixed without repainting the whole...

Dealer was telling me, it’s not easy to fake this 0.0 readings in the software. Someone has to push the wheel to get to 0.0 and another person has to click capture when that happens. I don’t know what to say, except I spend 200$ for that perfect 0.0 alignment which is completely off in a week on...

Here are my alignment reports from two different shops in less than 1 week: This is from a local tire store. See how they got it to 0 in after reading. this is from dealership within 1 week as they diagnosed the vibration issue:

I went with michellin defenders on my 20" wheels. none of the tire chain stores would install it due to speed rating which doesn't match the truck's required speed rating, so I went with tirerack. The tires are from march 2025 mfg date. Doing this seemed painfully complicated than to go with...

finally got 2 new tires shipped from tirerack as part of their warranty. Lexus dealer when ahead and mounted them and detected the two new tires road force to be within range , so didn't need roadforce balance. they also did alignment again based on my request and it was surprising that the...

so there are a lot of issues why you see vibrations at steering and in body and when you brake. The brake vibration is easy to nail down, usually a warped rotor, uneven pad wear which may be caused by fault or seized caliper. beyond that, most of the vibrations come from unbalanced wheels...

my vibration issues are fixed after tirerack sent two tires to be replaced. The lexus dealer balanced and check for road force which is within spec and did alignment again and found the previous alignment done by local shop with perfect 0.0 is still off. with all that, the vibration is gone...

I am dealing with exactly your symptom after a tire change. This is usually due to bad wheel balancing or due to tire defect. After road force balancing all wheel, one tire was still found to be having a strong vibration, the dealer said its a tire manufacturing flaw and may get even over time...
