gs 350 awd right rear clunk when going over bumps...
hi there, it's now been just about 2 weeks with the new car - i love it! but i've noticed a few little things that i'll take it in for before the warranty runs out...one of them is a noticeable dull clunk in the right rear...it also hear it when i go over small the medium sized bumps on the left side...sway bar link? over big bumps i don't seem to hear it...

Interesting. I'm hearing something almost exactly like that from the left rear. I've had my car since it was new. Fortunately, it is a lease, and I'll be turning it in way before the warranty runs out.

It could be. I'm at 35k and been on coils only for the last 5k. I doubt the shocks will go bad that fast but never know. I'm only lowered about 2" so it's not an extreme drop.
Although, unlike yours, I hear the clunk on big and little bumps.
Let me know what the dealer finds out for your car. thanks!

I have a RWD 2013 with the same clunk. The dealer always says it's junk in my trunk, which I removed 100% and it's still there.
Listening more closely, it seems to come from the sunroof assembly in the roof, above and behind my head. Haven't bothered the dealer about it again but it's annoying when it happens. I just turn the radio up and forget about it for another day.

Does is sound like a metal clunk?
I have a 2013 AWD and I can hear a noise coming from my headliner behind me but it doesn't happen all the time. It sounds plastic too. At first, I thought it was coming from the right rear suspension area but noticed it was coming from above and behind.
My sunroof also makes a creaking noise when it's hot out and I drive up an incline at an angle. Brought it to the dealer and they couldn't recreate the noise. They also said my car doesn't fall under the TSB for the sunroof pop noise for the early build models.

hi there, so i took my car to the dealership - they change the right rear shock and bushings and the sound is still there and very clear. this sounds like a silly question - but do these cars have rear strut mounts? or any other idea's? I'll be taking it in for the seat frame recall next week...

So now they think it is the left shock...unreal. Im at the point where i just want this gone. My thoughts are something to do with the swaybar, upper shock mount or a bushing on one of the links?
Does anyone have a link to a good picture of the rear suspension?

Lexus noise from rear when hitting bumps rumbling noise.
Club Team, I have had this noise for a few months. I believe I found the issue on youtube. I going to buy sway-bar bushing for the back and change them myself and see if the noise goes away.
I had uneven wear on my passager back tire and the tech I talked to said it was my shocks. One was leaking so I purchase two off Rock Auto and changed them myself. I don't have any more uneven wear on my rear tire.
