Re: Suspension Repair On A Vehicle Used In Canada by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:08am On Oct 01, 2019
Front suspension

The brake rotors got damaged by worn brake pads, the brake pads wore out unevenly due to frozen callipers that were rusted in. The sway bar links and bushings were also work out.


Replacement parts for front.

1. Front brake rotors

2. Front brake pads

3 front sway bar links

4 front sway bar bushings

Re: Suspension Repair On A Vehicle Used In Canada by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:10am On Oct 01, 2019
On this car, nothing comes off easy, angle grinders all the way, rusted bolts had to be cut to replace all parts.

Rear suspension.



Will continue after a message from our sponsors.

Welcome back from the commercial break.


Rear suspension repair.

The rear right side suspension, we detected a sway bar link with excessive play, it had worn out its sitting area and caused a tearr in that area.

Gazzuz, since you'd been repairing vehicles, is this your first Canada type job or why the emphasis lately?

Ok sir. Just that your commercials break delivers a contrast view of the educative thread. Like avoid what I am repairing and go for what I do advertise.

My husband like your deep knowledge of automobile though.
Re: Suspension Repair On A Vehicle Used In Canada by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:37pm On Oct 01, 2019
Been really busy all day. So i stopped in rear suspension .

The lower control arm rear right had to be replaced to solve the damage caused by the sway bar link with excessive play the rear rotors were badly rusted and required replacement. Same with sway bar bushings.

Overall the rust was not that bad.

Exhaust though gradually degrading still has a lot of life left, a weld of the support bracket will put it in order .

No signs of rust on doors or external frame. Also no signs of rust on engine bay.

Fact is if you are patient you will get an awesome ride at a very cheap price. Doesn't matter the country.
The rust on this vehicle is not even bad although some people will wish it was worse grin. I have seen much worse on some US vehicles.

Hi, please can you tell me how much it would cost to change the Stabilizer Bar, Links, & Bushings of a 2008 Toyota Camry (Muscle). One mechanic told me it would cost me 60k to stop the clunking/rattling noise the sway bar is causing whenever I drive through a speed bump. The clunking noise is kinda embarrassing.
