Just got my Front Strut bar delivered today,

Either I'm ridiculously exhausted from work, or the bolts on both sides have been tightened by God himself with the world's 2nd largest socket wrench.

May have to resort to getting a mechanic to take the damn bolts off....

For anyone interested in whether the Ultra Racing Strut Bar made for 2006+ Toyotas Camrys will fit on the aurions, the answer is yes :D Fitting the unit is very straight forward, just takes a smal

Yeah i can't recall anybody who's being able to undo these nuts by hand (& this is a good thing) Most of us have used air tools to get them undone, but don’t use them to retighten them though, use the biggest socket wrench you can get your hands on. Also a good idea in a week to have another crack at them to retighten once it's settled in.

Cheaper option would be to get an off cut of pipe and put it on the end of your ratchet, the leverage worked wonders getting mine off. Dont use the pipe though to tighten them.

Ended up going down to my mechanic, Installed the whole bar in less time it's taken for me to write this post and he did it for free.

"I only charge for actual work"

LOL at you girls. Mind you, I don't have the man power of Steven, but I undid my struts with a 20cm long socket driver.

Are you certain you're not actually IronMan? :P

Nah... unfortunately not. Steven gets close though. Where I needed a breaker bar on a standard 30cm socket driver to remove the 17mm bolts on the brake callipers, Steven used just the socket driver.

lol even the Air Gun struggled to undo mine, had to knock it up a few notches. BUT i now remember paradigm and i got his off with some fairly basic tools, few swear words but wasn’t too bad considering the tools we used.. lol

Ok after having the front strut bar for a week, I've just purchased the rear 19mm rear sway bar. Just to confirm, if I have the car on just ramps, do I need to take off the two rear muffler mounts as well as the Y mount to lower the exhaust a bit or can I get the bar out without doing that?

Depends on how skillful you feel when you do it. I have gotten away with leaving the mounts as they are, so anything is possible.

Hi Julian,

I had all sorts of trouble getting mine on trying to jack the car up, release the exhaust etc.

If you have ramps that are at least 10" high then it will come out without any problems without having to undo anything else but the mounting nuts and bolts.

If the car isn't high enough you can't twist the bar far enough to manouver it in (and the old one out).

Cheers Rob

Got my 19mm Ultra Racing Sway Bar last night, just on two weeks from Malaysia. Will be fitting it on the weekend. Have ramps to do job. No clamps came with bar and I have seen others say just use the old ones. Do I need to put any rubber lube on bushes?...If so what sort? ....... and how long should the job take? It looks like less than an hour?

Mine from Ultra Racing Australia did not come with a packet of grease. I just picked up a $5 can of lithium grease instead.

Just checked my packaging and Yes!, there was a sachet of brown/read grease wrapped in the bubble wrap and two bushes. Cant wait to fit the RSB and put the Aurion into corners, I suppose my tyres may start wearing out sooner after I get the job done!

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
