Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Bump Steer When Hit Bumps On Highway

Here is the spec of my gs: 20x9.5 front(-2 camber), 20x10.5(-4 camber), I have fig camber arm (upper&lower), toe arm and trac arm installed, and alignment done, but I still get that bump steer when I hit bumps on the highway. Why it's happening?!?!? do I need to change the outer tie rod then the issue will be fixed? Or is there anything I can do to fix the problem. Since Figs Engineering does not make outer tie rod for the 3rd GS, is Moog tie rod will be ok?

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?

I have a front end noise when I go over a speed bump or hit a pot hole. It is kind of a crunching nise like something needs grease.

The Hyundai dealer charged me $54 to diagnose the problem and told me I needed both upper control arms replaced to the tune. They did force some grease in the bushings.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: GL Won't Go Straight - Pulls To The Right

I bought a 2011 accent GL 2 weeks ago from now and the car wont go straight, even when i center the steering wheel the car pulls to the right, it gets really annoying.

I took the car to the dealership a week ago and they said "its the road" that are build to make the car pull to the right, but i dont think its right that i have to fight with the car to keep it going straight when going 80 km/h or over. What could be causing this?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Going Straight Without Turning Steering Wheel - ES300h?

I can't drive my 2013 ES300h straight (on a straight & level road) with out turning the steering wheel to the right, then to the left (over & over again) . To be clear, I do not have to turn the wheel much at all but it has to be turned to keep it straight. I had Lexus do a 4 wheel alignment yesterday and it did not work at all. Is this normal ?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Steering Wheel Had To Tilt Left To Go Straight

The leather on my steering wheel was peeling off and I brought it up to the dealer and out of their goodwill, they decided to replace it with a completely new one. Props to the dealer. However this is where all the problems start to occur. I drop off the car This past Sunday and pick up a loaner. I get a call the next day saying my car is ready. So I get there and everything seems good.

There's an open road that I like to take home but this is where I noticed something weird. When my steering wheel was level, the car was veering right.. I had to tilt the steering wheel a little left to go straight . I call the dealership right away and they tell me to bring it back. So I do that and pick up another loaner.

Following day , I go back to the dealership and they tell me they fixed the alignment. Now everything is good! I was yet again wrong. When I got home, I noticed my steering wheel was weird.

So taking the car back tomorrow to get this fixed! Still props to the dealer for giving me a brand new steering wheel..

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Steering Wheel Won't Aligned Whilst Driving Straight

On my 2006 Passat, the steering wheel is not aligned (at 12 o'clock) when I'm driving straight. It is roughly at 11 o'clock position, maybe a little less. The dealership claims this will be solved with a front end wheel alignment. The car drives straight as an arrow with hands off the steering wheel so I tend to wonder.

Will a wheel alignment fix this? Or could it be something else?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Cannot Keep The Car Tracking Straight / Steering Has No Defined Center Point

I purchased a CPO 2013 Lexus ES 300H with 31K about 3 months ago. While I really like the car and appreciate all the thought and innovation Lexus has put into the design, the electric power steering system has been casing me concern.

I can't seem to keep the car tracking straight. Since the steering has no defined center point, I find that I constantly have to keep adjusting the steering 1 degree left and 1 degree right to keep the car tracking straight. These 1 degree corrections tend to stick in place and have no motivation to return to center. This becomes quite exhausting on any drive over 30 minutes.

I've had the car into Lexus twice and they found that the alignment was slightly out of spec and performed a 4-wheel alignment and told me what I was experiencing was a characteristic of electric power steering. I continued to experience the same issue. Next the steering torque sensor was reset. Still, same result.

Golf IV R32 :: Noise From Front End When Drive Straight Or Uphill

So I've recently noticed a noise from the front end. It sounds like a plastic to metal, or metal to metal. It's more of a clicking. It's not sequential, and I can not purposely make it happen. It happens when I drive straight, up hills, and sometimes in turns. It does not happen, when I hit bumps, get on the throttle, or brake. The car doesn't seem sluggish, nor does it feel untidy in the corners. I think it's suspension, but that would make a difference in the ride quality.

I've looked at my coilovers, everything is tight. I recently replaced my sway bar links, but everything is tight and the sway bar isn't loose. I removed my spacers, changed wheels, and the car still makes this noise.

It kind of sounds like something is hitting the firewall, or something is hitting the subframe. I didn't notice this before I did any work to the car. I changed the oil, trans fluid, rear diff fluid, and haldex filter and fluid. I don't think this has anything to do with my noise though. I do have a little shake at idle, kinda like the exhaust is hitting the subframe. That goes away when I'm driving, and is a different noise.

now that I think about it more, it just sounds like something is loose and making contact. Like a loose spring, or sway bar bracket. The problem is I've checked those and they aren't loose, with the car up, and the car down(on a lift) Nothing appears to be loose, and I'm not sure what to check from here.

Golf IV R32 :: Rubbing Noise When Going Straight Or Turn Left

So, I put my RCs with Eagle F1 DSG3s back on and now I have noise. I thought there was some rubbing, so I spaced them out tonight, but the noise is still there. I thought it could be my alignment, so I got an alignment, still noise.

It happens when I'm going straight and when I turn left, but not at all when I turn right, things get quiet. It sounds like a a rubber rubbing noise but i took the wheel off and I couldn't see any wear... Could it just be tire noise??

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Steering Wheel Doesn't Return Back To Straight As Move Through The Turn

My 2005 RX330 has 140,000 kms...and I am now witnessing frequent periods of hard steering. I even sometimes find that after I turn a corner, the steering wheel doesn't return back to straight as I move through the turn - I have to forcefully return the steering back to straight steering. There is plenty of power steering fluid, and there are no abnormal whining noises from the power steering assembly. And since the ease of power steering does still work...I suspect that a ball joint needs looked at.

Any other option before going into front diff?
