Default Clicking noise - behind glove box

I started to hear clicking noise coming from the dash area, glove box area, when the AC is on.
I did a search on this forum and it seems like a typical problem with RX300.
My question is that someone mentioned Servo S.A Damper was the part that was replaced to fix, is this the part, can someone confirm please. I would like to get Toyota garage to fix it. Thx.

Hi guys,
I haven't been on this board for a while and came here to research this exact problem! My wife's RX300 had the same noise. I did find that by putting the temperature to hot and back down to normal the noise did stop. It must be the temp selector door and hopefully it was just out of "sync".

Its more than being out of sync. For me and others it is simply wear.

I lubed mine that has quitened it a whole lot, but now I dread the grime build up.

My husband followed clean & oil directions we found on here somewhere & it worked perfectly. I was only getting air to the face vents, it wouldnt change to floor or defrost, plus had the clicking but now its fixed

Rachel, what were the "clean & oil directions", were they to open the inside of the glove box and cleaning the servo ? Thx.
