GX550 Overtrail Vibration

[CCTX]

If it were body mounts & bushings wouldn’t it affect all models? I really think some units have a defective sensor within the AVS or EKDSS

I am intrigued by this idea but not sure how this can be verified, maybe some special equipment, hmm.

Mine isn't the AVS or it's sensor(s), because it's unhooked now and those shocks are sitting in a box in my garage. Could be a sensor on the eKDSS though. Maybe...but I have disabled the eKDSS by pulling the fuse and it didn't change the ride, although I have NOT ever disconnected the physical connections of the sway bars etc. or removed them. Why couldn't some models (and not others) have bad body mounts? I don't know much about body mounts in general, but I just know that I do notice vibrations from the engine come through my seat more than perhaps I should, even when parked with engine on, so that's why I am speculating that. The engine idle vibration could be me just being oversensitive to it too trying to figure this suspension thing out. I dunno. At this point I have basically decided to live with it, but will continue to report back here with anything else I find.

Not saying it can’t happen just thinking it was be more pervasive if that was the case. Intriguing for sure

That’s really sh$t mate, I hope they first find the faults with the vibrations as we are all suffering with this crap in some degree and then they should honour your encore platinum, you pay enough for the car in Aus you deserve the coverage.
I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Well Lexus BNE came through and have provided me with the “Elevate” package which gives me the same benefits as Platinum. Still no word on the specialist to look at the vibration issue…
