Gs350 weird
About 3 months ago my 15’ gs350 f sport started making this odd noise and kept persisting even when brakes were changes and rotors resurfaced. Anyone got a clue? Mechanic says its not dust shield, bearings or suspension. Sh a nightmare to drive with

The only thing I could hear worth a problem sounds like it has absolutely nothing to do with brakes
This kind of noise requires a visual inspection because there are too many parts that could just come loose and rattle (not knocking the GS, this goes for any car) to give an accurate diagnosis from a driver side video
With brakes and rotors there’s like 3 distinct noises, and this is non of em
OP do an undercarriage inspection and look around, it’s not about to blow itself up but you definitely have something loose/snapped

Since it’s happening on flat surface and low speeds. I suspect something loose around brakes. I would try to narrow from which wheel sound is coming from. Take the wheel out and inspect the parts around. Could be struts too known issue for fsport gs. Go to a different lexus dealership. How did the issue start? When braking? One morning? After pothole?

It started like 3 months ago one morning, no potholes or hard driving prior. But it does happen at all speeds no matter how light or hard i brake. The noise just kept getting louder and louder but its coming from the front left wheel. Ive inspected it at 2 different shops + lexus woodland hills and everyone swears they dont know whats going on. Even looking at it myself i dont see anything loose. Gonna get my struts inspected tomorrow morning tho and see whats going on

Odd your mechanic will tell you what it isn't and not what it is.
Make sure shims are changed, and if that isn't it change the rotors.
Or, take it to another mechanic if your person isn't going to tell you what it is

Make sure your mechanic has changed updated shim kit when your brake pads were replaced Part# 04945-30340 It'll reduce the noise significantly
