Update for everyone, I took the car to a local shop to have a second look. They said the dealer is trying to overcharge us for something that doesnt need to be done. He said the wheel bearings were perfectly fine and the front left wheel just needed lubrication. He showed me the exact issue and why it wasnt the wheel bearings. (He also has an LS400 so I think his judgement is good) He said he has seen a lot of Lexus come through that have similar stories of dealer fraud. He has called Pohanka Lexus on this to tell them what they are doing is wrong. I will not be bringing my cars there again most likely...

Last year Pohanka Lexus did a lot of work on the car to the tune of $8k including extensive brake work. The mechanic raised the car and showed me the issue was with the passenger side left brake rotor and how it was not lubricated. It was even showing signs of rust because of this. He spun the drivers side tire and it continued spinning for a few seconds. When he did the same to the passenger side tire, it did not independently spin at all. So he lubricated the rotor and everything is good now.
