Front End Knocking
Also check the steering input shaft. There is a TSB addressign that as well. I had a rattle felt in the steering wheel, noticed the most when off road, rocky. I had the bushings replaced and it helped but did not eliminate it. The steering input shaft corrected what the bushing did not fix. -

Aftermarket Hitch Options
I ended up returning the Curt hitch, it did not work with the full size spare ( I should have done my homework). Also, If you remove the Curt hitch you will spend a lot of time on your back trying to fish the fastners out of the chassis frame. I found a used Land Rover hitch for $250 which was... -

Brake pads
I've run the Akebono pads on another car and the switch from metalic to ceramic was great for having clean wheels but I felt the stopping power wasn't there. I bed the pads in as directed per Akebono, then tried again a few months later a little more aggresively. All I can tell you my wheels... -

Brake pad wear sensor problem
I would guess the dealer pulled the codes to determine there was a bad sensor. It could also be an issue with the connector in the wheel well. You should be able to verify if the sensor is bad by checking it with a multimeter. If it is not the sensor, then you need to move up to the... -

How to "de-funk" damp carpets?
I would get it done by a pro. A professional detai shop should have some good cleaners and know how to get it clean and musty free. If you want to do it yourself, try a baking soda based carpet cleaner that you pour onto the carpet and vacuum up. -

Brake Pad Choices?
I attached a pic to show what kind of brake system I'm dealing with on the ISF. 6 piston brembo, drilled rotors. I would have absolutely no problem using these on the LR3. Stock calipers on an ISF are 6-pot Brembos? (Big reds) Please tell Lexus thanks for not painting them Fire Engine Red... -

Brake Pad Choices?
From their website they sound like the Akebono's but better bite, even in cold. These sound like the best of both worlds. Too good to be true? When are you going to install them? Where are you sourcing the pads? Thanks Brian -

Brake Pad Choices?
Thanks, I need to measure my rotors to see if I need to replace them. But they look fairly new with almost no edge lip. But yes I would use LR Rotors, or Brembo or Zimmerman. I'm not a fan of cross drilled or slotted rotors. Thanks for the EBC green stuff pad review. Iv'e heard both good... -

I'm getting close to needing Brake pads all around. Looking at the three most common choices Ferodo: OEM Semi Metallic Akebono: Ceramic Textar: Semi Metallic (lower cost version of Ferodo?) Akebono Pros: cheaper, no brake dust, much less wear on the rotor, quiet. Akebono Cons: Less... -

Steering play?
Any tramlining issues? vague steering and tramilining point to lower control arm bushings, ball joints or allignment issues. I had the lower steering input shaft replaced which solved my issue of vague steering with rattles and clunks going off road. -

Ice Raciing with the Porsche Club
We went up to Georgetown lake to race on the ice. I met RVDub up there and it was a blast. We had fairly new Nokian WRG2's that did well in the snow but no match for the ice. Here are a couple of pictures. (Mine is White, RVDub is the Black). I never did figure out what set up works the... -
