Huh? Wheel bearing failure don't make clunking noise, and IS250 don't have front driveshafts.

Too bad the seats behind are a little tiny compared to the hatchback I changed from a Lexus to an Octavia. The Octavia is more practical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah.. so maybe is his rear differential. Because under full turning, the rear differential will be the one performing the task of splitting the motion into 2 different wheel speeds. And frequently it is neglected in terms of lubrication change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have changed the lower control arm bushing as well as the link ends. Front Absorber and their mountings are within a year old.. i am planning to change the rear absorber as well - what should go along as well for regular wear and tear? Check your anti roll bar bushings and links. Likely those. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do an inspection of the undercarriage. A competent mechanic should be able to perform that and advise on the worn out parts that need to be changed.

I was told ES is comparable to E class but less trouble and cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large (those 40,000 km type) I heard the Merc servicing is super expensive, so maybe nett nett they are around equal. conti have service credit to draw down from, while Lexus, you either negotiate a number of free servicing otherwise you have to pay.
