There was someone on here with a similar hit and the rear brakes were dragging at certain spots in the axle rotation. 100% a bent shaft. I don’t remember whether they had control arm problems though.

No, it’s not. It’s an ad for merch in the wrong category by an unregistered vendor.

How is this tech?

Bent rear axle shaft, at least. And that’s a pretty big job. Could be a lot more, you need to have a good mechanic look at it.

Every 200 sold in the US had leather. No idea if they’d fit a fabric seat cushion, but comparing part numbers for those parts between leather and cloth seats could help.

I can’t tell what is bent from the small video. Things that come to mind from that accident description: rear axle shaft (needs bearing too, can’t be reused), axle housing, suspension linkages. The odd thing to me is none of this should cause...

Agreed. I'd like to know how much of that 7g of dust went around the OEM filter vs through it.

Parts diagrams show it being present with the earliest model year 200s, including yours. Someone probably needed a paper weight. I doubt you'd notice any difference with it in place.

Plus a filter-minder would probably show that most of us are changing our air filters far too early anyway. Glad to see the Donaldson setup has one.. entirely possible with an element that large the replacement cost would never be an issue.

Well said, including the part about TRD filters.

The “clean” side of the gasket is all that’s needed, since that is the area we want to exclude dust. But I’m sure most people just put it on both sides for simplicity and to keep engine bay air out of the system completely.

On a non-AHC 200 this can easily be done with the vehicle on it's wheels too, you'll just need a floor jack or something to compress the new shock enough to slide the lower mount over the post. Really, for standard type shocks it's not all that...

It also appears to be *very* expensive, plus replacement elements are about 8x the cost of a standard one for us.

And even in a given frequency there can be different underlying communication protocols. It could be as simple as the sensor ID range values changed. Either way @Valgrind , Densos don't appear to be fixable if you get the wrong ones. Clones gain...

If the pump was running non-stop I'd suspect whatever controls it electronically, not the pump itself. Somehow the EWD doesn't show the pump wiring itself, only the larger ABS/VSC stuff. The controller is mounted directly to the master...

I'd double check the numbers before writing it off. I do know it's confusing.. Seem to remember it all being the same from 2008-2013, then a couple changes in 2014 and 15. But it's all infrequent enough I can't get it fully memorized.

Unfortunately you got the wrong sensors. Pretty sure your 2008 needs the Denso/Pacific Industry 550-0103 like my 2013.

What year LC? (If you put it in your sig it helps in the future) When you say "sensor ID codes are the same" you mean the listed codes are the same as what you programmed and the autel reader is listing them as? Or did you mean "same" as in same...

These application lists overlook a distinction between the "commodity" and heavy duty vehicles: The larger engines needed a bigger filter, requiring a different support tube. They couldn't use the same part number if they wanted to. Plus...

All those budget vehicles that have the metal housing put it closer to the ground and behind no significant protection, unlike our cruiser and tundra where it’s tucked up out of the way. Yes mine will never be over-torqued when I work on it but...

On Amazon search for Toyota Light Switch and look for these dimensions

That depends on your definition of adventure.

At least the airbags are tunable for different loaded states. As it is the stock axle already has a super-gradual rubber spring installed inside the stock coil that is intended to do the same thing. But when we increase height we usually don’t...

In theory I agree, but I’ve seen too many get stuck and must be destroyed to get them off to trust the polymer, even as someone who rarely touches his vehicle without a torque wrench. Every once in a while I must pay someone for an oil change...

On the cruiser it’s on the metal housing not the cap. Yes it may be missing but if it’s properly torqued it won’t back off anyway. Also look into the metal “venza” oil filter cap to replace your plastic one. You’ll have to move a part of your...
