Thanks for your inputs guys. My brakes seem to work perfectly without squeal, brake pulse or brake failiure... It's just that the car doesn't cruise smoothly like it did before the brake job...

I thought warped disks only causes vibration when braking? Will it also cause steering vibration at high speed not under braking conditions?

They have checked the wheel balance but not the alignment. Tires can't be rotated as they are staggered and directional... Could a brake job damage wheel bearing/suspension bushing? I'm not hearing the noise that's commonly associated with faulty wheel bearings though...

The pedal is not pulsing/vibrating user braking. The car vibrates at cruising speed so I don't think the disks are warped. Fronts are new and rears were machined.

Hi guys, I recently had my brakes replaced with Lexus OEM Pads (front and rear) and front rotors and have since noticed a slight vibration through the steering and chasis on the freeway. The car wasnt vibrating like this prior to the brake job. Brought my car in to Lexus and they rebalanced the front wheels, but the vibration still exists. The car is not pulling to either side and is running dead straight so I've ruled out it might be an alignment issue. Also, the tires have 80% tread left on them. They've then sent out the head technician out for a test drive with me for about 30 mins cruising up and down the freeway but still couldn't really pinpoint what might be causing this. He has also checked to see whether theres any imperfections on the tires and the rims but everything seems to be ok. Next option suggested by Lexus is to leave the car with them for a day for them to swap out the wheels and trial and test the possibilities... Any idea what might have caused this to happen from doing a "brake job"??? Out of ideas....

Thanks for your response mate!

You meant, it can be done its a standard feature? Do you know if the 2006 models can have this feature programmed too in Australia? Blackburn said it cant be done. I might give Melbourne CIty Lexus a try.

Can autolock/unlock be programmed in for an 2006 IS250 via dealers? Ive spoken with Lexus of Blackburn and been told models prior to 2008 cant be done. But i've read some other people saying they've got this feature on their 2007 IS250?
