Lexus IS250/IS350 Steering Noise Problems (SOLVED) Steering Making Grinding Noise.

If your lexus IS250/IS350 Steering wheel is making a grinding noise, it means the steering rack is rusted and the best solution is to have it replaced. Replace the steering rack with another one and you're good to go.

Thanks for the info man ,so sir is it a good car to buy as a first car?

[@drivingyard]

Yes it is. I love the car. Very reliable. So yes, it can be your first car provided the one you're buying is in good condition

[@GHOSTFX8]

Ok thanks sir

It's the steering column boot, If you look inside the car under the dashboard above the pedals you'll see the boot there , you need to open that boot and apply grease, do not use WD40 or silicon , these don't help , you need to find a proper grease for it

I also have the same problem, but thr funny thing is, before i took my car to the auto shop that problem wasn’t there, when i got the car back the problem started, did they break something while trying to repair my compressor?

[@drivingyard]

What kind of grease do you suggest?

[@drizzydreamz4626]

nah it’s the steering rack

[@jibrilabdulkadir3702]

​@drivingyard have you tried the grease stuff. I want to know cause mine just started making that noise after I dropped my car for repair at the mechanic workshop. Thanks.

[@drivingyard]

No, I haven't tried it yet. Have you tried it?

[@jibrilabdulkadir3702]

Have you been able to find a solution to it or are you still driving it like that. If you're still driving it that way, for how long?

[@drivingyard]

I'm still driving it like that. It's upto 6 months now or even more. But someone in the comment section said something about greezing steering buckle to stop the noise. I've not had the chance to go try it out. I will do that when I have the chance. Please read the comment on this video, you wil see where the person said. Also, please subscribe to my channel OK, thank you very much. Don't forget to let me know if you try the oiling the buckle and if it works.

[@jibrilabdulkadir3702]

I changed the steering rack completely, cause i don't want to get stuck in a difficult s​ituation @drivingyard

[@ModyTech]

Hi, could you please let me know if u have fix it? And also is it ok if i keep drive it that way!

[@drivingyard]

I've been driving with my own like that for more than 5 months now. You have to deal with no noise though

[@GHOSTFX8]

And please is it fuel economical?

[@drivingyard]

No

[@GHOSTFX8]

And please is it fuel economical?

[@drivingyard]

No, it is not. It's a v6. If you want a fuel economical car, get a 4 plug.
