Yesterday, I installed is350 bbk on my is250. Today, while I was driving, I noticed a loud metal grinding noise when making wide turns (left and right). My installer didn't install the dust shield.. Could this be the problem?

Thanks for your help

 

I have similar problem too. I put f-sport bbk both front and rear and lots, lots and very heavy grinding noise came from front.)

my mechanic told me it's gonna happen a few days after installed by it've been a few day.

 

its the 250 dust shields...mine did that every morning until it spent the $45 for new dustshields.

I ordered mine from Lexus of Pembroke Pines Trademotion site online. The MSRP is like $34 each.

 

I had the dust shields installed and no noise now

 

is it easy to put on? and $34 each brake or for 4?

 

i think its just the front 2 that you need.

 

No offense but your mechanic is an idiot.

 

each front. It is almost impossible to change the rear ones.

 

i'll do the front 2. where can i get em? the brake dust shield. are they universal or there is a specific part number for lexus is? and how hard is it to put in?

 

any body knows how much it cost (part and labor) for the brake shield?

 

time to find a new one...

 

I have the OEM brake pads, but have noticed a very quiet grinding when coming to a full stop very slowly, and the grind gets a bit worse when I turn and brake.

I figured it may be the brake pad but I had the pads checked about 1 month ago and he said there was still about 80% of the pad still left. I'm now thinking it may be the dust shields, as I guess they need to be replaced every so often? My car has almost 70k miles on it.

Are the shields hard to get to? Is there a DIY to change em?

 

can anyone help me and him?
