I have 22" Rims on my '05 GX and am thinking of getting the Clunk Fixed. Has anyone out there with Big Rims done this yet?
This forum is awesome, BTW. Thank you everyone for your postings!

i dont have 22s only 20s... i just had my "clunk" fixed 2weeks ago and so far it is better. smoother stops and gos...no more anticipation of it at stops and looking back on the rear view mirror checking if the car behind just hit you
... however a bit stiffer ride, have to compensate it on the "shock damper" to soften ride. took a month for parts to come in but it was worth the wait. now if i can have the dealer fix the "drone" symptom/s... my GX would be set.

Please see the other threads on "stiff rides" after the TSB clunk fix. Mine was miserable until I took the vehicle thru a series of rear height adjustments
From N to L then back to N then H then back to N
Let the flashing light stop completely each time. This resets something and your smoothe (sp?) ride will come back. Adjusting the other dial did not work for me.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I've got mine going in tomorrow to have the alignment redone and the "clunk" fixed. I'll keep y'all posted on the Progress. I'm curious to see how good Newport Lexus here in Newport Beach, CA will be about this whole situation...

TSB... Fixed!
I picked up the GX last night from Newport Lexus. What a difference! The clunk is totally gone and I can not tell any side effects. The service adviser said that I was lucky that I reported it later rather than sooner, as they just got in the new suspension components and driveshaft. I think he was referring to the '08, but I am not sure. Regardless, it's very nice to have a new driveline with 0 miles on it, as opposed to the 45,000 my previous one had.
Interesting sidenote: He said that my tires, Toyo 265/40/r22, were too small and that I need to switch to a 50 height. Unfortunately, no one sells 265/50/r22. Can I change the width of the tires and still put them on my existing rims? I ask that because I found other wider tires that are R22 and 50 height. Anyone know the answer to this?
Thank you all so much for your posts on this topic. I am a few thousand miles away from my warranty running out, so I would have had to pay for this down the line!
