What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (41 Viewers)

[RemyRunner]

Had been chasing a knocking sound for a few months. Did the upper ball joints in June and didn’t have time ( who am I kidding…I was procrastinating) for the lowers.
Finally did them last week thinking they were the culprits. Same process as the uppers: the first one took three times longer, learning what to do and not do for the second.
The knocking has gone away and it feels toight like a tiger.

Let me know how you like the 5160s been thinking about replacing my OMEs with them as the 5160s are dirt cheap on rockauto

I will let you know. But thus far I can tell a HUGE difference with just the rears being changed.

Have any pictures? This is on my list of things to do.

Na not really much to photograph such a tight area. All pictures I took were just of the setup before I started for reference, which should be exactly what you have in place. I guess my modified screwdriver may be worth a photo.

Was a drawn out repair where i attempted to repair my servo motor a couple times only for it to fail again before I just purchased a new one to install.
Be sure to pay attention to how the servo motor arm attachment connects to the plastic pieces it moves. Take pictures/videos of everything before you remove it. You'll need pull the carpet away from the area and the trim on door side to make that happen.

Are we long lost twins? My 01 is also Vapor blue and I also installed door and rear hatch seals and cowl seal not too long ago!

Just brothers, I’m actually dark grey 1e9. Some of my clear coat is faded from heavy sun prior to me shipping it here.

This is great - considering this refresh on my rig. You order from impex? Amayama? Wondering what this might run to do all 5 doors...

What was the outcome? Did you eliminate all clunks?

Impex was my go to prior to the tariffs. This batch of rubber I used the 25% off at SE Toyo dealers.

This is great - considering this refresh on my rig. You order from impex? Amayama? Wondering what this might run to do all 5 doors...

Working on fixing the paint - clear coat failed on left side. Anyone know the paint code for the trim pieces and bumper covers?
