Hi all,

I'm getting a knocking noise when traveling slowly on a road from the front drivers side,

Would I be right in thinking this maybe a ball joint as its def coming from around that area,

Its only a tiny knock every now and then when I go over small bumps in the road.

If it isn't this what could it be

And if it is how easy are they to replace and where's the best place to buy them from

I'm not a Lexus owner but it could be stabiliser drop links.
I had this on my mr2. Fitted a new pair of links and it was sorted.
Should be a Guru on soon do I'd wait for them to answer.

For your one check your calipers to make sure the springs are there and tensioned.
