Default Driveline "clunk" to hopefully be fixed

I emailed our service manager with the driveshaft fix you guys have talked about to fix the driveline "clunk." He said our part has come in and is waiting for us to bring the car in for the 10k service to be installed. Hopefully this will fix it

PS- should we worry about replacing something as major as a driveshaft?

Brent:

When you go in, can you please ask for part numbers! There is soo much confusion on this.

Thanks!

Well,
How did it go? The new part should fix your problem.

So how do you know this will fix the problem? Since when did they implement this fix?

About three months ago, We sat down and talk with Lexus engineers. They show us how to fix the problem. That was back then when I was working at the dealership. I have access to the TSB. How is the A/C working for your guys? It's the winter now, wait until the summer is here. It will get worse.

I don't have the part # on this. But It's the drive shaft and they will have to use a special grease to lube it up for the installation. A/C problem, The A/C just shut down if you are sitting in traffic. Problem: not getting enough air flow through the condenser. They put another fan in there to help it out a little bit. I will keep you guys updated.

JPI,

The A/C problem described above is for 03 or 04?
