So the sienna is 4 years plus and here we are again with the noise associated with suspension works.
Nov 2017 I changed my front suspension , steering bushing, linkages. Then after all that there was still a major rattling at the front, I then changed the suspension bushing which bolts it to the car body in the engine bay.

This fixes cost me over 55k including workmanship. Along the line like 3 to 4 months ago, I got a broken lower arm which resulted in linkage damage, front passenger side tire write off. I had to fix that too at a whooping 35k including labour.

Now it's rattling, squeaking, creaking and clanging sound at the back and front passenger side. Close observation and I found out that
1. front driver side lower broken into 2

2. The back side has some much sound and road play that I don't need horn and the car has become a tourist attraction.

Beam bushing. I hope you got a genuine if not you might be revisiting the mechanic anytime soon again

helping the mechanic to loosen the other side shock absorber. I don't leave my work unattended like a typical nigerian you join them to know a few things.

The second shock absorber is still ok, it rises when depressed and no gas escape, will keep that as a souvenir

mechanic says the shocks just arrived brand name shock absorber super tube model number 344331 gas with Japan quality engraved on it not printed.

searching for the name on Google brings out p**n site aye Aba made/ chinco made konida

@nurey weldone oo! Works bn done on ur siena r similar or almost same work done on my siena few days ago.

Plz my front tyre, the driver side is always hot and sometimes bring out smokes wit burning smell. I changed my brake pad and brake disc to a new one. I complained to my mech he said it's d newly changed brake pad dat it needs time to smoothen. This is d 5th day now yet no improvement. Plz wat cud b d problem?

nurey:


sticky brakes, your issue is still the brake pads and or the brake discs. The smoke is either due to oil on roads getting to it or your brake lines is leaking fluid thereby dropping on the hot surface around there.

The easiest way to do a DIY would be jacking both front legs up move the gear to neutral and roll the tires. if they turn freely good if not then you have a binding brake.

Let the mechanic return the brake shoes it's like one of them is extremely faker than the other.

nurey problem has bn resolved. The problem was d brake caliper, it was bad and they serviced it and heating and smoke went away. After all these works CEL illuminated and when it was scanned the p0420 catalytic something bank 1 was detected. Plz how do i resolve this? Do u have a pictoral view of p0420 catalytic bank 1? I changed one catalyst for 25k sometime in april, the one dat stays under/middle of the vehicle on d exhaust line b4 d silencer. Could it b d same catalyst? Plz note dat the one i changed for 25k did not read on d scanner bt my mech was able to detect it by sound of d vehicle. I forgot to mention dat my fuel consumption has really tripled

Go to a technician with scanner, Let him clear all codes in the vehicle then drive the car till the CEL comes on and then rescan and let me know codes generated.

I have never touched my catalyst or had issues with though since I bought the car but always ensure when you have catalyst issues and you can't afford to buy a new OEM replacement deleting the catalyst and using O2 defouler is better than allow kazeem to construct it using non recommended parts which can cause engine failure.

clear codes drive vehicle and rescan let's know the codes

AmandaLuv:
When the technician scanned it it actually showed
p0420: catalyst system efficiency below threshold(bank 1) and then he cleared d codes. Just a bit worried d codes would return.
No vex 4 me oo i knw i'v disturbed u alot wit my wahala.

nurey:


okay when the CEL reilluminate let him scan and we will try to sort out the codes.

when you changed the catalyst before did he buy a new one, a tokunbo or he constructed his own version. Also did you bother to see the replacement if it looks anything like spoilt one in terms of size?
