I'm the second owner of this 06 IS350 Luxury Plus sport package. I had the alternator changed last year buy family mechanic and it took him four days so after that I decided to do the work on whatever needed to be done in the future myself to prevent me from having anxiety. And to stop thinking they did something to my car. Can you blame me if an alternator change takes 4 days.anyways here's my story I had bought 2 sets of front tires within a year and those bridgestone sport760 aint cheap and I came across this post.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-problems.html
I've been a long time viewer but not member of CL. Sorry".. well I did my front end, inner and outter rods lower ball joints and brake pads but what about this pic
That oil or atf?
and what are your suggestions? What do you think about this method? Snd around 3 min does the 3 settings apply to the 2is, if yes pls explain.
For the GS400 it's doable that way, because you have a dip stick to check the oil level. The IS has a sealed transmission. No cooling lines going to the radiator. Like what's shown in the video.
Degrease your car first to see where the oil is coming from. Then go from there.
Ya, get a flash light and look up higher. There must be a source.
Save a picture of those rags for the alignment guy as they need to know. What tire pressure you run? If running the name plate values bump up the fronts and get that toe set.
The problem is the tech is going to set it to spec and it needs toed in beyond spec and even then run an elevated tire pressure in the front. As soon as you see abnormal wear, take it back to the alignment shop.
Next option is aftermarket poly LCA.... then you'll need the alignment checked again.
damn that's a lot of inner tire wear. is the car lowered? I don't think that's oil since the oil pan and filter sit further in front of the transmission.
