hey man my mechanic recently replaced my steering rack according to him and it cost me around 1,300 usd but for some reason the steering wheel is still hard and now the steering wheel is turned
Did they to the tracking on the front after they installed the rack ? because that has to be done after as well , but it should not be hard to steer . Mine is very easy to steer
Hi Paul, got the same issue. Do you mind sharing the ebay link you got yours from? Local garage says steering rack might be coded to the car. Mine's 2006 is250 SE-L
Its been very reliable tbh and I have done a lot of millage in the car too. This was really the first major thing to go wrong and it was not that expensive to get repaired. One thing they do suffer with is the brake caliper sliders seizing up, but they do come out with a bit of heat on them
@@paulsvidsounds good, glad it served you well. The breaks issue is quite common even on the older generation, interesting that Lexus haven’t fixed a lot of common problems. Cheers for the reply

@@vokeej Hi mate sorry for the late reply I got it from this guy on Ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204460725597
I have the same symptoms, locked up on me today I restarted the car and opened again, can you just replace rack or needs to be programmed?
@@Isleofman_g80m3 HI you can just replace the rack but it will need the tracking done after
Sounds horrible. These are supposed to be reliable cars. Reluctant to buy one now unless I get it cheap from my cousin

My own is hard
I would get it checked out asap because if it locks up like mine did while you are driving you will have no steering and end up having an accident
