Lexus RC 200t/300h/350 CV Joint & Driveshaft Service Malaysia
RC is RWD — rear propshaft U-joints and rear half-shaft CV joints. Inspect rear CV boots every 40,000 km. Boot RC 200t high torque: inspect boots for tearing more frequently. Clicking under load in a coupe is the primary failure sign.
Lexus RC CV Joint
- RC is RWD: rear driveshafts with CV joints at each end; RC also has a front differential for weight distribution — front driveshafts on RC AWD only
- RC rear CV boot: inspect every 40,000 km — sport driving creates more heat and stress on CV boots
- RC clicking at low speed: if RC clicks when pulling away from a stop — rear outer CV joint most likely; confirm by turning during slow manoeuvre
- RC driveshaft balancing: if RC vibrates above 100 km/h after suspension or driveshaft work — confirm driveshaft is balanced; imbalance creates high-frequency vibration
