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

Hmmmmmm, alright no problems. Thanks for the links. I won't be getting the thicker one. It's just that you guys kept mentioning the thicker ones and I couldn't find them! ;)

Yeah the 19mm should pull you up pretty nicely, good choice :)

Cheers. This will be my next short term mod. I first need to study hard.

Well I ended up buying it. Just could not resist. I just hope I made the right decision. I have a fear that it won't live up to the expectations. Just hope it does!

Less body roll will make me happy!

Got a email from the guy, he has received my payment and will be sending it soon.

I was just wondering though, today I bought petrol and then I had 3 passengers in the car. The car felt so sluggish around corners with all that extra weight with almost a full tank of 98 and 3 passengers. Will the new sway bar combat that sluggish feel because its a thicker bar? I can't explain things for crap lol.

As long as you don't expect it to transform into a sports car, then you won't be disappointed.

I wouldn't say it would combat it. It will make it slightly harder to get body roll from the weight transfer, but the bar only has so much torsion. As the weight transfer increases, the bar effectiveness will decrease.

Nah for sure, I'm not putting my expectations that high.

That was a pretty damn good explanation, I fully understand what you mean :). I'm quite happy with how the car performs around corners as it is so I guess the new bar should live up to expectations.

I also need some new rubber soon as well so that should also help with turning as well.

Cheers!!

Very interesting reading overall - this is probably one of the next things on my list, getting the front strut and rear sway. I don't mind a bit of spirited cornering heheh, especially on our cruises!

Seems like the best combo for the Camry would be to stick to the 19mm rear sway then, just looking on the Ultra Racing website now and it's the only choice available anyway. Definitely a price increase though, $218 now for the front strut and $323 for the rear sway, plus $17 postage for each item.

Seeings the thread has been revived could we maybe get a group buy going? Try and get a bit of a discount heheh

You can have my old rear sway bar. I'll get the new one and everyone will see my epic oversteer and then i'll be a member of the Guni 'Oversteer is Bad mmkay?' Club. :P

Okay jokes aside. I am interested in the upgraded rear sway bar. However right now the car seems to have an....okay balance. But I don't drive near as hard as Daryl does, so he might need it more than I would. :P

I'd also be interested in a group buy if we could get it a little cheaper. Be doing both the front and rear :D Quite interesting article about the FWD spin.

Edit: oops, hit the reply button without seeing there was more pages to read :blush:

Cool, well I'm thinking of getting them from Ebay and just waiting for the shipping, amongst other things. I think what confused me is that I'm still not used to seeing it as 2011, and I still think it's 2010, so when I saw your's and Tash's posts in Jan '10 I thought, sweet, there are still people who haven't upgraded and want a group buy.

Mine came from ivy and its definitely genuine.

Well that's a bit odd to say the least!

I guess Luis must feel threatened, definitely after seeing how much he was going to charge me for a strut bar plus postage!

I bought it from dffoo1972 and well if it really is fake it's a damn good fake :lol:

I think that person is just ****** off that they are selling it so cheap and free EXPRESS postage too!

Has anyone bought the 23mm rear sway, and thoughts?? Just trawling back through this thread and others as those Ebay sellers have the rear sway very cheap so am finally getting more serious about getting one to team with my UR front strut :) Although reading over things seems like I'm best to stick with a 19mm bar?

I don't think anyone here has bought one, or at least reported back on their findings. I personally did consider getting it, but I figured that the 19mm one is quite a good balance for me. I reckon going for a 23mm bar would probably make the Aurion little too tail happy and probably end up being less balanced to drive. If I could somehow find an upgraded front sway bar, I reckon a 23mm sway bar would go great.

But that's all talk. I guess you could be the gunniea pig for us...

Yeah it doesn't seem that way and I understand perfectly what you're saying, if I've got the 19mm front strut up front already and add 23mm in the rear its probably not really going to achieve what I want, which is just to stiffen up the rear a little so it "follows through".

If I had an Aurion with a bit more guts I'd probably happily be the guinea pig lol Although I guess in any FWD once you under steer too far you're in trouble.

Bought mine from dffoo1972 and feel the same. If it is fake then it's an A grade fake tongue.gif

Maybe he doesn't like competition and wants a monopoly of the market. Definitely loving the Free shipping :D

I guess I shall be the guinea pig then Tash ;) (I think you meant once you have too much oversteer in a FWD and not aware of it you can find yourself in trouble tongue.gif)

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
