Inspection of rear suspension reveals that the previous mechanic was a lover of tyres , there are tyres in everything!! From under the rear coil springs, to inside the bushings. So we are going to correct all that. 1 Like

Back to the camry, new thermostat installed new radiator switch installed. Front stabilizer links installed, A drive test still revealed a slight noise from the front right wheel, so right suspension parts were disassembled and ball joint and inner tie rod ends were found to be the culprits. Worn out terribly and had been knocked in previously by a mechanic In the morning the ball joints and inner Tierod end will be replaced, car will be aligned and job that should solve the problem.

GAZZUZZ: You might want to elaborate more on the work on this Acura. I need to learn more about their TCM and ECUs. What the problem was and how you pinpointed it. I know it will take time, But you could do this over the wknd |

abeg one quick question for my ogas . . i don dey experience this tin for some days now . .. whenever i make a wide turn, for example . . . from driving lane , then turn full left or full right back into the other lane . . you know as you complete the turn and start moving straight, the steering wheel is supposed to straighten out itself . . but mine refuses oh . . it will just hook , and d car continues to turn, until i straight it out by myself with my hand . . secondly, while am completing the turn . . the front tires of the car would be bouncing . . someting like dat and making a kind of vibration noise once i have turned completely and driving straight, the vibrational noise will stop i dont think it's d shaft, cos a bad shaft will make a kind of "kra kra kra" loud noise during turns. . so i am confused. 1 Like |

Emperoh: Just closed from work and I have a lot of time on my hands. Sensor ground (negative connection for most engine sensors) was shorted to solenoid A and B. Each time I tested manually using batt connections, I disconnected ECM/TCM (to avoid story's that touch the heart,) that also meant that sensor ground was disconnected and I would here the solenoids click when tested. But in reality the TCM was unable to pass a signal along cause of the short. All I had to do was eliminate the short and all became well. |

Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:12am On Jul 01, 2015 |
makavele: Check for presence of swaybar links, check if shocks are leaking. |
Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:16am On Jul 01, 2015 |
chukel: I checked o! No clearance, but will change them this morning. |
Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by makavele: 10:46am On Jul 01, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ: sway-bar links (intact, infact even recently changed to new ones) front shocks . . cant see any visible leak . . rear shocks . . dead !!! |
Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:07pm On Jul 01, 2015 |
makavele: Apply grease in steering rack. Meanwhile I hope your front shock absorbers were re-assembled properly if they were previously worked on? Its not unheard of. |

Update on avensis 2000, sorry didn't have time to take a lot of pics, but powersteering pump installed, drive shafts, suspension. Noise from alternator will require a bearing replacement, noise from timing belt area is caused by the timing belt slapping the covers, a new timning belt should be replaced and bearing for alternator. (Alternator replacement would be easier) Engine washed, job order complete.

GAZZUZZ:chai agbara moto. Good. I love that. Wish u can give that midas touch on my avalon. Beginning to hear small small noise I suspect to be suspension. Front noise started after alignment. Can brake assembly cause a clunking sound? |
Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:24pm On Jul 01, 2015 |
chukel: Yes o! Also check the pic below, tie rod end inner side.

GAZZUZZ:replaced not up to 6 months ago. Ordered and replaced with deeza inner and outer tie rods plus ball joints with stabilizer links and bushings. Steering shaft/rack is shaking though. One of those problems from factory.i have the TSB from toyota but haven't gathered liver to do the job. Simple greasing job. The thing tire me. Clunking is from the back, mild though. But started after changing pad. Today I noticed a pin or clip on the caliper assembly has given a deep mark on the disc. My preventive maintenance is causing wahala for me. |

Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by mikkyphp(m): 8:30pm On Jul 02, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ:baba Gazzuzz, i "scanned" before i knew it was the FL ABS sensor that needed replacement. pulled the honda ABS code 13. only asking if its replacement will affect d VSA as i read somewhere that once you have the ABS light on, then the VSA is likely to stay on too. i dont have a scan tool capable of reading the vSA module |
