How do you check power steering fluid on a Lexus?
Locate the power steering fluid reservoir in the engine bay. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise.

Add power steering fluid to the power steering container if the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN mark.
What kind of steering does the Lexus RX 400h have?
The 2006 RX 400h is listed as having “Power Rack and Pinion Variable Assisted Steering ” which sounds like it’s NOT 100% by wire. That, is comforting! I don’t know but we should be able to read about it in the next long-term update on the vehicle when it is published.
What makes the 400h steering system so different?

Why does my Lexus RX 400h make a noise?
I recently purchased a 2008 RX400h and I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing a noise coming from somewhere in the front part of the cabin every time the steering wheel is turned? The sound is generally heard when making a right turn. Any ideas of what may be causing this???
