  1. remember me saying about that knocking noise that i had from the drivers front area ( i believe all along you said to me it was my ARB drop link ) and lexus replaced the top suspension mount well when i was looking for problems to the suspension because of my steering being funny trammling etc.. ( in previous post ) well when i was looking i could see some form of lubricant/grease coming from the drop link rubber boot..so im kinda guessing that is why its ( knocking slightly on that side still ) so guess i will have to get a new drop link for it?
  2. ok thanx tony will give that a go.
  3. Yeah i know Tony its really weird..my pressure on my tyres are 35psi all round... whats best to drop them a bit? How would you tell its a wheel bearing? ive jacked the car on all corners and grabbed the wheels and moved them about but dont seem to be any play in them....im not a very good car mechanic my dad and brother are the ones when it comes to that..( but dont see them )
  4. Do antiroll bar drop links have grease packed inside them? on my IS200 sport?
  5. Yep that's fine just let me know when.... Ok Tony be good to see it again will pm you before i do. ...also got weird problem with car ( have put a post up )
  6. Hi people.! well ive got an IS200 sport with "18" alloys....( Tony knows the car well ) well the problem i have is couple of months ago had 1 new tyre fitted ( pirrelli pzero rosso ) had this as the new one in the boot was the same..so both matched....( have these on the front,both brand new ) and i have Nexen N3000 ( fitted to the rear,about 2-3mm left ) Well the problem i have got is that i am getting really bad tramlining and the car is handleing like a pig..( doesnt feel sure footed at all ) its peeing me of something rotten..as i said Tony knows the car well as hes the person i only trust with doing my Geo ( with all the Lexus settings being wrong )( and bad inside tyre wear)..and have hit no potholes at all and hit no kerbs and the tyres are fine. ive swapped the tyres over ( both front ones on the rear and vise versa ) and still no difference. could it be that 2 tyres are directional tyres and 2 tyres are symetrical ? is that the problem? the wheel is straight and the car drives straight and true but just grabs the steering really badly im also getting a weard sound from the tyres OR somewhere on the car ( cant locate the sound area) when cold like 1 of the tyres is punctured kind of sound a very low sounding thump,thump,thump etc but seems ok when been driven and warmed up. ive checked all the suspension and wheels and steering.. rear diff etc but it still does it... Hope someone maybe might know what the problem is? Tony ?

  12. Hiya tony well sometimes if i go over speed humps the sound is like the underside i.e body part is scrapping on the ground ( doesnt matter how slow i go over them) and also when i pitch into a corner i sometimes...i say sometimes because it doesnt always happen i do get a kinda knocking sound..but doesnt sound metalic at all..i thought maybe the anti roll bar bushes where worn but they seem fine.( to me but im no expert) i have thought about dry joint,bushing so i used silicone lube on the joints but noise still the same....would be easier for someone to come with me and hear it.....would i be able to pop down to you go for a drive and get you to listen maybe? Bring her in..... I think it's a drop link not a Lexus example.... same thing though. ok cheers tony when would be best with you? i can do any day morning or afternoon except tomorrow morning but afternoon ok.

  14. Hi i hope someone can help..i have a lexus is200 sport 2005 with ("18" lexus wheels.) .when i go over a speed bump or pitch into a corner or go over a hole in the road i get a kinda crunching scrapping groaning noise... the noise can be worse sometimes than others...had a look at the joints and bushes thinking it may be a dry rubber bush somewhere so used some silicone spray but still have the problem...was also wondering if the shocks had gone but had taken it to lexus dealership and they couldnt find a problem... really bugging me and any help would be appreciated.. thanx
