Hello,

My '03 (15,000 miles) steering makes a "clunk" or "pop" when slightly turning the wheel off center and then back again when the car is stopped or at very low speeds. It can be heard and also felt. Someone mentioned they had this problem and that Lexus replaced the intermediate steering shaft?
Anyone else experience this? I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow and want to have information in case I get the, "oh that's normal"

Thanks

I believe there is a TSB on this problem as it is well known.
It will be covered under your warranty.

good luck.

My coworker and I had the same problem about four months ago. The dealer took care of the problem by replacing something on the steering column. No noise since the repair.

Hi all,


I have a 2003 LEXUS es300 and I have just reported to the dealer about this problem. It was sound clunk whenever I turn left or right. The dealer then gave me a loaner car and have my car fixed by replacing some parts along the steering that they called loose or damaged parts. It now very quite whenever I turn left or right.

Please, contact your dealer about this problem. It is still under warranty for the 2003 car.
