    Help. I am losing my mind- front end noises

    So I had the local shop take it for further inspection, they came back and said Idler pulley is worn. $400 to replace 2 of them. He did say that it is not that bad but might be the cause. He was not sure if that is causing the noise. I still got the work done. Took the risk and after a 30 min...

    Help. I am losing my mind- front end noises

    They are ok at best. Would they make a sound if they were bad and I turned to the right only?

    Help. I am losing my mind- front end noises

    Hi All, Been a minute. Everything has been pretty good for my LX last few years, did the routine maintenance on my daily driver and it kept running and being super reliable up until last week. I was on road trip (Just 1500 Miles), It was great, no issues. On the way back, 100 Miles away from...

    P0430 Code, Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 2)

I have been doing this since last year, earlier this year the light didnt come at all when it was very cold here. It would come onces every 2-3 months and i would unplug the battery...

    Help. I left sunroof open during car wash. Water damage

    Yep I have a garage, I just figured leaving it outside on the drive way would speed up the process maybe because of the heat? I will look into getting a dehumidifier and some of the damp rid. Thanks

    Help. I left sunroof open during car wash. Water damage

    Some pics for reference. When the speedo/dash started up again it wasn’t the same. Lights would fade in and out and rpms up and down. Same with battery and speed wouldn’t work.

    Help. I left sunroof open during car wash. Water damage

    So a few hours ago I went into the car wash and didn’t notice that my sun roof was open. Just about half an inch. I drive slow and there was no wind up here in North Dakota today so I didn’t even hear the air, sometimes you can tell just with the air noise of the sun roof is open or not. My 2...

    Hey my 2004 lx470 with 250,000km recently had a oil change from Toyota. I asked for conventional oil. Sticker Toyota left on windshield says 5W30reg, that was 3 days ago. Today I’m in the middle of a 1000 mile drive and on cruise control I noticed my pressure gauge would read lower then normal...

    Switching suspension to Old Man Emu?

    I’m thinking about switching my suspension fully to old man emu with 2” lift. my current ride on my 2004 lx470 is very rugged. The AHC works but the ride over bumps is annoying me. I’m told I need new accumulators but also read they go bad sometimes less then a year later. I don’t care for auto...

    Fed up with me current busted AHC

    I have a 2004 Lexus LX470 with 160,000 miles. AHC started acting up about a year ago. Over the slightest bump and I mean very minor bump the whole rig vibrates as if I went over a 4ft rock. It’s embarrassing having people in it. I live in northern USA, minot ND. Roads here are bad. So every 3...
