I've been having the squeak problem on the rear passenger side for a while now. First time I mentioned it, they lubricated the joints and it went away briefly. After 6 months, it came back again. I've mentioned it again to the dealer, and they are going to replace the trailing arms via the TSB. Thanks for the info everyone.

Went in for checks and they insist I take the technician to a test drive to reproduce the problem. Nothing will be done unless it's proven. Fine, let's go for a test drive.
It literally squeaks right when we are entering the road from dealers lot, so verified.
Pushed for a LSB to replace the trailing arm but no go. They lubed the trailing arm and said it should be good to go.

That's exactly what they told me, rear trailing arm. Actually the sound is made by the rubber bushings.
Parts are ordered and awaiting for the repair appointment.

They did not mention if it was a know problem though.
I will check once repaired if a TSB is mentioned on the worksheet.

Wait so if we had this issue before and it was fixed by lubricating the rear trailing arms... they won't replace the parts?
This happened in our 2017 RX450H f-sport..

I assume the replaced parts are a different design and don't make a noise. Mine only does it sometimes over larger speed bumps at a faster speed, I took it to the dealer, went for a drive but it wouldn't do it then....naturally.

I've seen a TSB for it, they replace the parts. The dealers who are lubricating are just taking the cheap way out, obviously what will happen in the near future is the noise will return and they will lubricate again....and again.....and again. When the warranty runs out and the customer is sick of getting them to lubricate all the time the customer can then pay to have them replaced ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
