the lexus has independent rear suspension which is more complexed than solid axle suspension.so there are many components that can cause your problem so this is what you must check lower and upper control arm bushes stabilizer links and stabilizer bushes diff mountings subframe bushes inner and outer cv joints and propshaft universal joints and carrier bearings
First the obvious, are the lug bolts all tight? If so then I'd look for a loose joint on the rear tie rod or a worn outer joint bushing on the upper control arm. If noise occurs while rolling slowly then it might be a worn CV joint in the drive axle.
cv joint going bad, grease and boot may fix, probably caused by a cracked cv boot, and now the grease is gone, first thing to check is the boot on the cv joint (that's the shaft/joint that turns the wheels)attatches by a single nut in center of your front wheel (outer joint) if not the outer, then ck the inner (attatches to the transmission) (inner joint). most likely is the outer joint though
This noise is caused by a defective outer axle Constant Velocity joint. Look under the car behind the wheel that the noise comes from and you will likely see a rubber grease boot over the joint that is torn or otherwise damage. the joint must be replace in most cases.
first check the brake pads to see if they are hanging up/sticking if good than recheck ur bearings /hub cv joint new doesnt mean free from defects or u may not have tightened it right and or something failed
If it is a loud clicking noise it is more than likely the driveshaft, but on a right hand turn it will be the left shaft, not the right. The boot on the outer joint is usually a good indicator of whether the joint is ok, as they usually fail at around the same time. Inspect the boot on the outer joint for cracks or splits & grease loss. There could also be excessive play in the joint when the wheel is in the straight ahead position, check this by rotating the shaft back & forth while the trans is in neutral, engine off with wheel locked or on the ground.
