Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Exhaust Rattle When Going Over A Speed Bump


Sep 20, 2010

I have recently started to have the exhaust rattle on my RX330. It occurs every now and then when the car is on an angle or more particularly when going over a speed bump. I had been trying to find out where it was coming from and it looked to be the exhaust possibly touching the plate that separates the exhaust from the spare wheel cover (which of course is plastic). This is the part I am talking about....

Now the first part of me thinks that to resolve the issue it would be handy to put some padding there to stop it from rattling against the shield when the exhaust does move. The second part of me also thinks, it might be time to replace the rubber holders as they seem to be particularly soft and have quite a bit of give to them. Now for the interim I would want to put some padding on there. What padding have to put there? Would exhaust wrap be the most obvious choice to wrap around the shield?

Trying to find an inexpensive temporary solution. The long term resolution would be for the actual rubber rings themselves to be replaced as well as having that small metal bit covered in some sort of wrap to prevent metal to metal touching (hence vibration and noise). Part of me also thought to remove the shield altogether, but worried that the exhaust may touch the plastic around the tyre and cause it to melt and possibly catch fire, as it does sway a bit.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Front End Rattle Every Time Drive Over A Bump

2011 Lexus RX350
24,000kms/15,000 miles on the odometer
Owned vehicle for 13 months

I've been experiencing this annoying rattle coming from the front end. The rattle is not very loud and every time I drive over a bump, it sounds like I am driving over a Texas gate. I don't feel the rattle, but I hear it. It occurs only when I drive over a bump on the passenger side. No rattle occurs when I drive over a bump on the driver's side.

I have 3 questions:

1. Is it fair to rule out a bad engine mount?
2. Is it reasonable to pinpoint this to possibly a bad strut mount on the passenger side?
3. What are the impacts of driving 1700 miles until having this looked at? I have to go out of town next weekend. I called the Lexus dealership here at home and the earliest they can look at it is two weeks from now.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Transmission Not Engaged When Going Slowly Over Speed Bump / Engine Cold

2007 GS 350 AWD in power mode, 22,000 actual miles on the car.

Pavement - dry

When going slowly over a neighborhood speed bump after about 2 minutes of low speed engine operation (engine still cold), the transmission seems to disengage, spinning in neutral for about one second, then it engages.

This doesn't happen when the engine is warm. Is this normal? Is it a problem?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: At Start Up Exhaust Rattle

I have the invidia midpipe installed on my 06 GS300 AWD. The guy at the shop had to do some cutting and welding to make it fit on the driver's side, I also noticed he removed the damper near the middle of the car for the pipe to fit as well. Ever since then, my car makes a loud rattle whenever I start the car, but only when the engine hasn't been started for a few hours, what it could be, I never had time to take it back and let it cool for him to check it out.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Annoying Rattle From Front End At Low Speed?

I have taken it to the dealership and they claim they can't hear anything and I'll have to wait for it to get worse. The noise emanates from the front left wheel well area. It is only heard at low speeds (under 20-25mph) on areas of semi-rough or undulating pavement. It sounds like a loose shock or something....

I've seen on other boards that there have been problems with other Lexus vehicles and the struts, upper and lower insulators, mounts and bump stops.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Sways Sideways When Hit A Bump On The Highways

I just turned 200,000 miles on my 2004 GX470. I am the original owner. I had a very good experience with my GX. Besides the normal maintenance jobs (brakes, tires, spark pluds, belt) I have not had any other major repairs. However, the last few months, the car waves sideways when I hit a bump on the highways. It sways sideways. I checked the sway bars and the appear to be fine. What did you have to change to stop this wavey ride?

Golf/GTI VII :: Trunk Tray Rattle Over Bump?

Not sure if this is a common issue, but every time I go over a moderate bump in the road I can hear the trunk floor parcel rattle a bit, almost as if it is loose. I know it's the tray because whenever I put stuff like grocery bags on it the sound stops. It's a pretty annoying noise, almost like I have a couple wood blocks in the trunk. I'm assuming the inside of the parcel itself is some kind of cork or something? It doesn't look out of place or anything.

Civic - Honda - Struts - Mechanics :: Rattle At Speeds Over 50 MPH And Lots Of Noise When Go Over A Bump

My 2012 Honda Civic, with 71000 miles, is showing obvious signs of ball joint problems - a rattle at speeds over 50mph, and LOTS of noise when I go over a bump. I had a quick oil change yesterday, then immediately noticed the problem. Brought it back to the manager of the shop, who looked at it and couldn't find a problem (naturally). He said that the car would pass inspection with flying colors.

Is this a coincidence? Could I have worn ball joints on a car that's 2.5 years old? What could these people have possibly done to cause this problem? Could it be struts? The winter has created frost heaves which turned my street into a third-world road, and the car was involved in an accident 1.5 years ago when some lady ran a red light on me.
