The center console is not that difficult to remove on a Lexus IS350, but there are a couple things that can make it arduous. First, the vent trim can be tricky, and second, the dashboard can crumble apart if it has had many years of prolonged sunlight exposure.
A bad wheel hub bearing is a common issue on the 2nd generation Lexus IS350. To resolve this issue, the wheel hub assembly needs to be replaced. After some research and shopping around, I was able to find an OEM-like alternative that costs 70% less than the dealer option.
