Some Lexus IS250 owners report experiencing a rattling noise, which may be attributed to issues with ball joints, struts or strut mounts, and sway bar links. This noise is often noticeable when driving over bumps and can be more pronounced with the windows down, indicating a need for inspection of components like bushings and strut mounts for wear and tear. Additionally, some owners experience a rough ride, commonly linked to uneven tire wear due to alignment issues or worn suspension components. Rough idling, which may stem from vacuum leaks, faulty spark plugs, or ignition coil problems, can also affect engine performance and fuel economy. To mitigate these issues, it is advisable for owners to have a professional technician inspect the suspension system and address any alignment problems or worn components, as well as investigate potential causes of rough idling to ensure optimal performance.
