Link to video! Title says it all really but I will provide more info. Car (2009 Toyota Matrix) recently has had most of the front end replaced lol. Subframe, control arms, ball joints, struts, axles, rack and pinion, wheel bearings, sway end links. The only untouched items are the tie rod ends and the sway bar / sway bar bushings. As well the brakes were done about 1 1/2 years ago, just the pads though and they still work fine. The most recent repair was the end links and I was getting a pop noise over curbs and turning but since replacing those it seems to be gone. Now the only issue I have at all with the car is pulling in and out of my driveway, I get a metal clunk. It happens when the wheel is turned and I hit the bump / curb of my driveway, the noise happens when one of the wheels / struts extends / retracts. So basically going over a bump with the wheels turned causes the noise. It happens on both sides of the car and can feel the vibration in my feet, and have felt it on the drivers side, passenger side and more to the centre of the car. It happens with or without the brakes engaged. Happens also when the front hits the driveway or the when the rear evens out if that makes sense. Recently turning left had caused the car to also make this same noise and feeling however after tightening the passenger side strut (which was lose) it went away while turning but still persists while going over my driveway. Additionally it has happened in other locations when I am turning on an incline, for example descending a parking garage or turning into a parking lot over a curb. Also my local mechanic who has been very nice to me is unable to locate the noise and has inspected everything to be in working order and besides the driveway issue the car seems and drives great. Just daily I get this noise. I am truly stumped here, it’s not impossible one of the many parts installed is defective but also there are a few more untouched areas. I am hesitant about getting rid of the car as it has minimal rust on the body and the engine is in great shape with less KM on it than the rest of the car (long story) Anyway any help is appreciated. Video attached.

I have a 2009 Camry. The ac started to get warm. So i put some ac refrigerant in. It was cold for about a day or 2 then got warm again. I’ve added a couple cans a few times and the same thing happened. Anyone have the same issue? How else can I troubleshoot?

Just took delivery of a new 2024 Tacoma Double Cab Sport automatic and all four tires had a pressure of 55-PSI. I checked the sticker inside the drivers door and it read 32-PSI in cold. Anyone know why my tires on a new Tacoma would have the Tire PSI set to 55? Is this standard or did someone in the factory just get confused? Thanks

1974 Hilux Long bed Pickup. Holley 4 barrel carb, Buick 231 short block and a 350 turbo trans. Loads of power she is really fast!! Bad news is the manual steering gearbox is totally shot. I cannot find a rebuild kit anywhere or a rebuilt gearbox. I am at a loss as to how to get her steering again. Any ideas what I could do? I am not afraid of modifying the steering if anyone knows what might work? Or slap a different front end on?

My Highlander 2011 just got painted. The rubber strips on roof were in bad shape. The price to replace them was $350! I don't have a roof rack, so I imagine I don't need them. Do I? What purpose do they serve?

I heard with CVT transmissions it is recommended or even essential to change the fluid every 30k miles or so. But on a conventional automatic with of that age and mileage I've heard more often than not as @Ayo and the dealership said, best not to change the fluid. Certainly check the level at times.

Hi Everyone, I just bought my first Toyota. It is a 2024 TRD Off Road Premium. So far I really LOVE pretty much everything about it. I am going to let the dealer do every other service until warranty is expired. Wanted to join a few Toyota related forums and bond with like minded people. So, Here I am . . . and "Hey" to everyone. Glad to be here. I hope I can bring something to the table. Look forward to meeting many of you. ~Steve

HI, new here. I have a 2002 Tacoma SR5. just about perfect shape except....for the frame. Very bad shape. Friends tell me to get rid of it, but I'm resisting, hoping something can be done. Any advice?

My 2012 Toyota Corolla S wouldn't start after coming out of the store. When I turn the key it clicks only once and the dash lights, interior lights, and headlights still come on. We've replaced the battery and cleaned the terminal cables, we've replaced the starter, replaced the starter relay, and replaced the engine crankshaft. My car still won't start even after replacing all of this. What else are we missing? Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone! I'm a new member and just wanted to drop in and say hi.

I have a 2016 Highlander and am looking at getting a camper. I'm looking at a Geo Pro but it has a dry weight of #3450. Does anyone have experience towing that kind of weight. Not sure if I should look for something under #3000.

I have a 2016 Highlander and I'm thinking about getting a Geo Pro 19. Does anyone have experience with one. I'm not sure.if I want to pull that much (3250 dry weight). Does anyone tow something that big our should I stick with under 3000 dry?

I would definitely have it changed along with the trans filter as well

My 2021 Tundra 4x4 8-Foot Bed is listed as having an upgraded 38 Gallon Tank. When the Gas Gauge is exactly lined up on the "E" line (I've only done this twice), My fill-up takes only 30.5 and 31 .2 Gallons, leaving approximately 6 to 7 Gallons still remaining in the tank. Most Gas Gauges , when pointer is on "E", are designed and calibrated have approximately 1.5 to 2.5 gallons remaining in the Tank. -- a couple of things can be happening here... 1) the Gas Tank capacity is not the advertised 38 Gallons, but possibly, and truly only 32 Gallons. 2) The in-tank fuel gauge sender was not corrected or replaced, at the Toyota factory to compliment the larger footprint, optional 38 Gallon Tank, which leaves the excessive and unused reserve when reaching "E". Furthermore, with my lightweight camper mounted 100% of the time, my Tundra averages 12.7 MPG indicated electronically, and each fill-up results in a displayed range of 409 miles available, which coincides with a 32 gallon tank. A 38 gallon tank would result in a displayed range of 482 miles, IF the electronic sender and gauge are correctly calibrated. Has anybody out there had this experience, or any success with a concrete explanation from Toyota? My solution is to treat my truck as truly having a 32 gallon Tank and NOT the 38 gallon tank that my window sticker indicates. Thanks for any help or guidance!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on servicing the rear drum brakes on a 2005 Camry (145k). Since buying it used (107k), the brakes have been soft. I replaced the brake fluid and the front brake pads and rotor, but that didn't help much. When I bought the new drum and shoes and started replacing they were in pretty good condition (compared to new), I replaced them a couple of weeks ago anyway and again didn't feel much improvement. The pedal is still soft and does not brake effectively. I noticed that the handbrake does not work properly (the car rolls even on a slight slope with the handbrake fully applied). At the same time, if you tighten it a couple of clicks, the car starts to brake much better. The auto adjuster worked when I installed it, but after replacing the rear brakes the handbrake worked at least a little, now almost nothing again.

Since my initial post, I have accepted a job opportunity in another state and will be relocating. Unfortunately, I cannot bring my 1996 Celica GT 25th Anniversary Edition convertible and must sell it before I move next month. I believe that selling it on my own is the best way to go. What would be a good asking price for this low-mileage (61,500) vehicle in very good condition? Thank you for any advice!!
