Problem overview

Some Lexus ES350 owners report experiencing loud clunking sounds over bumps, which can lead to ruined tires. These clunking noises may be attributed to issues with suspension components such as control arms, ball joints, or bushings that exhibit excessive wear or play. Additionally, worn-out shocks and struts, along with loose control arm bushings, are common contributors to these noises. Some owners have identified damaged shock absorbers or bad control arm bushings as potential causes for the clunking sounds. It is recommended that owners seek a professional mechanic's inspection to diagnose the specific issues, as prompt resolution is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure safe driving.
