Guy's I'm sitting here frustrated, and scratching my head. I can't pin point this problem, and I tried to troubleshoot this issue before I asked here.
Last weekend, I was driving my LX470 around and I started experiencing what appears to be sounds coming from the front passenger side.
I keep hearing a whining, screeching, grinding noise, that comes and goes. It's not affecing drive performance, braking or causing the front of the vehicle to pull to one side or the other. I'm also not noticing any smells as of yet.
I thought the issue could possibly be a wheel bearing. So when I got home, I did the 12 and 6, & 3 and 9 check and noticed my tire was a bit wobbly. I repacked my front passenger side wheel bearing, torqued everything to spec, then took her for a test drive last nite. Within a few minutes, I noticed that the issue is still there, except last while driving home I noticed the sound is getting louder and worse and then goes away.
I engaged my center diff lock to see if that would help the problem, but the issue is still present.
Is it possible this could be a CV issue, differential/ transfer case issue, or possibly my drive shaft needs greased? I'm sure someone on here has had an issue like this before.
I just thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone could recommend some other areas to troubleshoot to try and find this issue before I take her to the dealership.
