hey guys/gals... just visiting here from the 120-series forum!
my brother in law just purchased a 2011 gx460 with 160K miles on it. great condition and clean/complete service records through lexus. however, we noticed that when turning full-lock (both left and right), there is a rumble/grinding noise when reversing... i can very slightly feel it at full-lock when going forward, but it's much more noticeable when in reverse. my wife has a 2015 gx460 with 30K miles on it (just a baby), and hers doesn't do it.... my '06 470 also doesn't make any noise, but i have new CV's and new tie-rods.
has anyone else experienced this? my first thought is that perhaps the CV's are going bad... or maybe the power steering. i'd hate to think maybe there's something funky going on with the diffs. let me know what you guys think!
