  1. Hi again!!! I FINALLY GOT RID OF THE KNOCK NOISE!!!!! So here is the update, I ordered lower ball joints, sway bar bushes, sway bar links and changed the all at once, so I really don't know what the noise was from, just like you Scott. (my suspicion would be the ball joints) Booked in for wheel alignment today Car is amazing now, pleasure to drive, I kinda want to drive on bumps purposely.....lol Thank you for all your help and suggestions.
  2. Thank you for the info, I have now just ordered ball joints and sway bar bushes. hopefully it is the same for me. I will let you know
  3. Thanks for your thoughts guys, Here are some pics of the parts replaced One thing I have noticed, the car makes the suspension knock noise more when its cold (or first drive for the day), or first 1 min of driving over a bump or small ripples on the road. then it gets less after that, but still evident.. That's why I'm thinking maybe, could it be the rebound valve in the TRD shocks?? I had a ZR6 with 364000kms and it was as quiet as a mouse over the same road & bumps, sometimes I just think really? do I bother any further with it?or I've gone this far, I might as well beat it and win. Next items to change are: 2x lower control ball joints 2x sway bar linkage rods 2x sway bar D bushes
  4. Hi Car has only done 112000kms, I have driven many aurions with much higher kms and none had this issue, (they just the usual intermediate steering shaft problems) Tie rod ends are new with rack Lower control arm bushes look good! Ball joints didn't have any movement or slop, but will check them again with a trolley jack under them to replicate level road position I guess.. Maybe this is just how they are?? due to the fact of harder shocks, stiffer springs, bigger wheels??? Has anybody else experienced the same with their TRD?
  5. Hi guys, I have an issue with my TRD, apart from loving the car and spending lots of $$$$$ on it so far, the car is giving me the ****s..... I bought the car second hand about a year ago and I wanted to keep it as a daily. Ever since I have owned it has been making a knock noise in the front end, similar noise to a faulty shock would going over small to medium bumps on the road. So this is what I have done so far.... NEW GENUINE TRD FRONT SHOCKS & STRUT TOWER TOPS INCLUDING BEARINGS NEW GENUINE TRD REAR SHOCKS NEW GENUINE STEERING RACK NEW GENUINE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT CHECKED THE "D" LINK BUSHES, LIKE NEW I have spent over $3000 just on the above to see if I can get rid of the knock.... ITS STILL EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT CAN BE?????
  6. I'll get some pics up soon, I paid $1200 for the set of pilot super sports, By the way, when you buy tyres make sure you check the manufacture dates on them, they were going to give me 2013 dated ones!!! I refused and now I have 2015!! :)
  7. I had Dunlop SP sport maxx tyres on mine, Bloody noisy!! Got the Michelin Pilot Super Sport much nicer
  8. Yep, I've done that before too! haha at least it looks nice & clean now
  9. TRD SL! love it, but here is a list of what I had to do on mine to make it lovable so far....$$$$ New TRD shocks all round New TRD rotors F&R Front strut bar Rear sway bar New Dash from Toyota New Rack & intermediate shaft New head lights New Michelin pilot super sports De-restricted the exhaust + TRD filter Full engine & Transmission service
  10. Just for the record, I have a ZR6 with 371000KMS!! Original motor, transmission & CV's!! Can't beat JAP made engineering
