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.

Is that all? why giving yourself headache over small thing.

Option 1
Buy 3X the quantity of refill you need, after first refill drive a distance of 100km by then the fluid would have gone several circles mixing together then drain and refill. Second refill should go through 1000km or a month then drain again and refill by then you should have a greater % of the old fluid gone. Ensure your change interval is reduced (yearly) if you intend to reduce the drain refill headache.

Option 2
These is easy but risky if the required expertise isn't available.
jack up the drive wheels, get your refill hose and funnel ready, get a gutter for drain, now start the vehicle and move the gear lever to drive.
while the fluid is draining, refill continuously and observe the fluid draining out. Once it becomes crystal clean then you know all old oil is out and fresh one remains. Couple back, fill oil to required level and guage.

NOTE: You should not have a Volvo moniker and be driving a Toyota what kind of foundation are you laying down for future generations?

Hello Gazzuz,

When I apply brake on my car Toyota Matrix at speed above 40km/hr, the steering wheel shakes and also moves sideways. The technician said the brake hub is bad and need replacement. What do you think about this?
And also the temperature meter for outdoor temperature functions abnormally, sometimes on hot sunny days reads minus, is the sensor bad ?
Thanks as I anticipate your response
replace brake rotor (brake disk) check lower control arm bushings.

Ambient temp sensor might be disconnected
