Hi everyone, I'm getting a rear sway bar made and should receive it in the next day or so to suit my 2012 Kluger Altitude. It's an 18mm Adjustable Heavy duty bar and should help improve the handling of these barges. If anyone is interested in one let me know and I can source more. Cost wise approx. $350 depending on freight to your location.

I received my sway bar today, fitted it and what a difference it makes. I've set it on the hard setting, which is equivalent to 20mm and the rear end sits flat through the corners. It doesn't affect the ride quality whatsoever. May look at a bigger front bar now. Anyone interested in one let me know.

Now that's something I might just be interested in. Excuse my ignorance of Kluger model numbers, but is yours front or all wheel drive (mind's fwd, tight@rse I am!).

Absolutely agree that they need some serious tightening up down south to stop them handling like a boat!

GSU40 is FWD and GSU45 is AWD. Cars are identical other than the rear diff, tailshaft to rear and transfer. Suspension is exactly the same.

The more I drive the car the more I notice how much of an improvement just the new rear sway bar has made, I may look into a bigger front now to just to make it that little more stiffer.

Oh and mine is AWD

I'm up for both front and rear. What did you do about the bushings? I am willing to pay for shipping costs to USA.

You'll likely find that doing both front and rear will mean that the car handles exactly as it does now, just stiffer.

If you want it to handle better, just do the rear and leave the front alone.

Definitely noticed a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig difference jumping out of RWD coupes and sedans into the Kluger.

Hi, I can sell you mine if you'd like. Im selling it for $200 and includes the sway bar mount bushes. I'd need to check what freight would be if you'd like to send me an address?

Hi Mate, yes I'll buy it but just wondering why you're selling it now ? I live in Frenchs Forest Sydney. Cheers

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
