Lexus LC CV Joint
- LC is RWD: rear driveshafts with CV joints at each end — grand tourer with V8 or V6 hybrid; rear CV joints handle significant torque
- LC 500 V8 torque: naturally aspirated V8 produces peak torque at higher RPM — CV joints are not under extreme stress from torque spikes compared to turbocharged cars
- LC CV boot: inspect at 40,000 km — wide tyres mean wider steering angles in tight parking; outer boots see more angular stress
- LC driveshaft: use genuine or OEM quality — LC driveshaft balance spec is precise for smooth high-speed cruising; imbalance affects flagship ride quality
