1 Front Suspension problem of the 2004 Lexus IS300

Failure Date: 09/01/2005

One weekend I checked on my tire wear, and notice the front tires on my car was wearing out unevenly, like the alignment was off, I brought it to the Lexus dealer and they told me it was a normal wear. The Lexus factory told me it is how the car is set up.

2 Front Suspension problem of the 2002 Lexus IS300

Failure Date: 08/28/2002

The front tires after 19. 500 miles inside edge of tire down to steel belt. Outside edge of tire looked brand new. Contacted dealer and the the dealer inspected the car. They recommended replacing the tires and aligning the front end at a whopping fee of $732. 00 and told me that this was normal tire wear for 19k miles. I took the car to two different tire shops and was assured that this is not normal and that a negative camber of the allignment would cause this type of wear pattern. I do not dispute a tire of this caliber will wear quickly. The wear pattern is what I dispute. This car has an allignment problem!! I purchased two new yokohama tires with the same specks as the original bridgestone tires and had the front end alligned and will monitor the wear very closely and report back my findings.
