Lexus Vibration

[Manny1]

I have a 2001 ES300 with vibration that comes and goes, most notably above 40 mph, even on smooth roads and freeway. Most noticeable on driver's side. Replaced two wheel rims, four tires, motor mounts, and the mechanic clears the rotors and suspension after replacing some parts. Tires have been balanced at five places including dealer. Today the TRAC and CHECK ENGINE lights came on, and for a while the steering wheel vibrated with braking from 40 mph and not at 15. Then this stopped. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Driveshafts/CV joints?

Transmission mount? Engine cradle misaligned? Just guesses.

Buy a scanner for $10 on amazon and see what the code is from the check engine light.

Autozone will do it for free, too, but worth owning for $10.

you have an intermittent misfire, a code scanner would do you wonders as it will say what cylinder has the misfire.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll follow up.
