    Check your wheel bearings. if you followed the FSM, they may be loose. Needs to be 35 LB-FT / 45 LB-FT. (Not LB-IN) Grease in the front knuckle. Could be a dry spindle bushing. Check caliper bolts to make sure they are tight. Grease U-Joints...

    U Joints are OG to my ownership, 70k miles and on my list to replace. I did notice a visible gouge in the FR rotor when I had the wheel off, but I would not say it was drastic. It made a 360 on the rotor, maybe a couple mm deep. The rotors...

    Bump, any ideas? I’ll try to get a video of the noise if that’s helpful.

    I’ll add, front DS tire has same movement. Here’s a pic of the front drive shaft, there’s an indent on the rust spot but no fresh metal to indicate rubbing.

    I’ve had a grinding noise from the front right to middle right side of my cruiser for a few hundred miles. Sounds like a whaw whaw whaw only between 13-20MPH. Not a consistent sound, about 1 second between the whaws. Cold/hot same. Left turn...

    When rear doors are opened, only the 3rd row seat light should illuminate. I would check the PS rear courtesy light switch too. Toyota 8423160020 SWITCH ASSY, COURTESY LAMP (FOR REAR DOOR) The door lock motor can be replaced with Aisin...

    The two problems likely are not related. My guess is door jamb switch and door lock actuator motor. Does the overhead light come on when the PS rear door is opened?

    Thanks y’all, fixed the washer issue and relocated the clamp so it’s not contacting down pipe. Ended up putting in a new screw and nut I had on hand. Next question, has anyone removed this bracket? IIRC I tried to unbolt it but it’s...

    1. Obviously you would direct the clamps so that the fasteners are away from the other parts, but those clamps are quite a chore to align. 2. That looks to be original hardware from Tial. However, Tial has started providing clamps that look...
  • uscmas412
    the orientation of the clamps do not matter as long as they are clearing any parts. those are the correct hardware that is included with the tial wastegates.
  • uscmas412
    When the shop did my reinstall, I don’t think they oriented the wastegate clamp properly. Two questions: 1) which direction should the clamp/bolt face. You can see it’s currently contacting the down pipe. 2) Pretty sure that’s not original...

    If any of you have CarPlay, there’s an app (OnTrack) that works with Bluetooth OBD2 readers to display data on your head unit. You’ll need a specific Bluetooth reader and the app is $30/year or $4/mo I was a little hesitant, but the reader...

    Order the Denso unit from Rock Auto. I think you're looking for the downstream sensor.

    Did you upgrade to all AN fittings to match the new cooler?
  • uscmas412
    Bump...about to replace my leaking soft lines. Anyone find a direct replacement that's not $600? I'll probably just go the refurb route if not.

    Mine appear original and are in various stages of deterioration. I think I could sand smooth in place to avoid warping, than apply something like 3M rubberized coating.

    I will put this on my list of many things to do and approach him. I do not want to get into selling things, but he already has a business that sells 3D printed parts, so, it may be a good fit for him.

    This gauge is what the shop used to make sure turbo setup was good, didn’t think to look at instructions. FWIW I’m at sea level with high pressure today, 30.05
