Lexus IS 2014+ :: Suspension Becomes Squeaky In Colder
Mar 31, 2016
Noticed lately my car has been riding very rough. I feel almost every imperfection on the road its crazy. Not lowered or anything. On the stock suspension. Tires are inflated to the proper pressure. I suspect the tires? But they have some decent tread left on them still.
18k on the car.
I did notice my suspension being a little squeaky when it was colder. its annoying the car doesn't ride like a lexus anymore. All this rough riding is making the MY14 rattles even worse

Just came back from a ride and since it's getting pretty warm here I decided to drive with open windows. At low speed I noticed a unusual squeak coming from the rear passenger wheel when I got over small potholes. This part of the car seems to shake really fast a few time before settling. I can also hear a drum like vibration in the car coming from that corner. I can feel an unusual bounce which take time to settle when it happen. I'm no expert but from what I read the usual suspect should be either a defective shock of broken control arm ? I'll get a nearby garage to take a look next week. Gotta admit, like some members pointed out, I'm surprised to see those kind of issues on a car which didn't even broke the 45000 miles mark yet... And that's for a car that I take really good care of and not used as a daily driver.

I have a Gs 430 - 2006. After hitting bumps in the highway big or small it seems like my dash or suspension squeaks inside the car. Since I can hear it so clearly I'm leaning towards its the dash or something behind the dash, It seems to be coming from the drivers side.What could it be?

I have problem with my brake system. When is comes to last 10 feet to a stop light always make this squeaky noise/high pitch noise. Brought it to the dealer for few times and they said this is a high-performance brake that's why there is these type of sound. I have a 2014 IS350.

I'm considering buying a used '06 Sonata LX with 137k miles, and the front suspension squeaks badly. I read the entire thread about replacing upper control arms to see what I might get into if I purchase as-is, and while it honestly doesn't seem too bad I know other problems may lurk. Would you buy this car with a squeaky suspension, or would you expect the seller to fix it first? Would you insist on them replacing all front UCA + LCA + struts + mounts + alignment at the same time? Any issues to worry about with the rear?
The car was amazingly clean and well-cared for overall. It was parked outside and the interior and exterior look better than my '05 Magnum that was garaged! I did notice rust on the wiper arms, one screw that was out of the passenger rear grab handle (above door). Also the seller told me the front passenger door lock won't work electronically 98% of the time, and the drivers rear lock won't work 70% of the time. I'm assuming the solenoids are bad or something is stuck - I can see the locks twitch a little bit when I depress the lock/unlock switch, but not enough to actuate the locks.

2006 GLS w/just over 100k on it...
In the winter time the front passenger side is very squeaky, esp when going over bumps...
I had it into a shop to have a wheel bearing done and they said the balljoints needed to be replaced...
Well, all that did was firm things up, the ride was just as squeaky...
Now in summer, it's not nearly as bad... First thing in the morning there's some squeak over bumps but nothing like it is in the winter...
What the heck would this be?

Is there something wrong with my suspension? And it just seems to sound like its coming from the front...rear seems ok.

I recently picked up a new 2015 Lexus IS 250, AWD with the F Sports package. I'm about to hit 3K miles on the car, and love it so far - only issue is I noticed recently that the front suspension seems to make a squeak when going over bumps at lower speeds (i.e. a parking lot, etc).

Car is a 2015 is250 f sport. Stock suspension and brakes. Live in Florida so weather doesn't really get and stay cold. I was backing into my driveway tonight and my wheel was turned all the way to the left and I was engaging the brake and disengaging it to slowly work from the street and into my driveway and the most horrid creaking metal sound was happening from the front drivers side tire and suspension. Since I bought the car the brakes have been loud when they are cold which I sort of understand but when the steering rack was engaged all the way to the left with the brakes engaged and i was backing up very very slow. it just didn't sound normal, at least not for a Lexus.
Sound isnt as evident from outside the car as it is sitting in the drivers seat. This is my first Lexus so not sure if their brakes and suspension get loud when cold? Its either a temperature and design issue or something else that is wrong. This sound should be normal from an older car, but suprised its coming from mine with only 1,500 miles.

I have noticed since I got the car( 6 months ago), when ever I have passengers in the back seats i hear a clunking noise coming from the right rear suspension area.
( I don't know if this is from the suspension or not and I only notice this noise when there are passengers in the back). The clunking noise is really annoying.

Noticed lately that pulling into my driveway... the rear suspension creaks a little when it comes from the road into the start of the driveway..the driveway is a little higher than the road and i hear a creak sound. also noticed that coming to a sudden stop at low speed and the weight of the car shifts to the front the rear suspension also creaks a little. is this normal and just me being overly picky because its a lexus? or is there a possible issue... also the days this happened it was pretty cold here so don't know if its a factor but never heard it before...

Looks like my struts and springs are getting old that they're making squeaky noises over the bumps. Had a shop checked to make sure and they suggested replacing them. I've been wanting to do air ride but not a lot of good shops in town have done that before. So far by searching, most complete kits run around $4k or so without installation. Is that about right? How complicate is it to do the installation?
My second option was to purchase coilovers and put them in myself. Cheap and easy. But again, there are 4-5 brands out there? Megan, D2, BC, K-Sport, etc? I want it mildly lowered and not too bouncy. What spring rates should I get?

2007 Lexus ES350 has screeching/squeaking brakes when the car is in reverse. Is this a simple fix or a costly brake repair job?

When I come to a slow stop my brakes squeak. I took the car to the dealer and had to prove to them that the brakes actually squeak. I drove around and pulled back to the service area and keep driving and stopping and the brakes squeaked every time. They supposedly replaced the brake pads, however, the brakes still squeak.

I just bought a 2007 LS460L. 've noticed a squeaky sound coming from the wheels at about 10-20 MPH but then it goes away. I bought this car from Land Rover Cerritos so i can't imagine that they sold me a car with worn brakes.

I have a '07 RX350. My steering wheel recently started having a squeaking noise when you turn it right, or left. This has nothing to do with the motor to extend or retract. You can hear the noise when you turn it ever so slightly back and forth (whether car is running, or not). I have seen other threads that talk about a grommet needing greese between the steering wheel and column, but not enough detail for me to determine what they mean. Also, if that's the case, I am not sure how you get to tha area?
