Shame it is just for Lexus owners. @Womble72 can Volvo owners attend?

Bonjour Bjorn! Do I recall you replaced the steering rack on your ISF? If so, why? What were the symptoms of it being gone?

Thanks old bean.

Think I've finally fixed my phantom steering rattle today (new rack ends and track rod ends) but keen to see if you had the same rattle as me.

If course all of this could just be a figment of my imagination.

Are we all really here anyway? Who knows?

Yeh, steering rack was replaced under warranty. There’s a Toyota service bulletin that covers it.

Symptoms….when going through a sweeping bend, just as your want to straighten the car, there’s a resistance to straighten and then the wheel gives. A bit like undoing a stubborn nut - resistance and then it lets go. I’ve heard of several others encountering it and have just ignored. I (and the Lexus technician) found it really unnerving!
