Gday guys and girls,

I have this strange noise coming from the left front wheel area when driving on rougher or uneven roads or when driving at 60 to 90 kms on a highway or freeway. Steering feels fine though and noise comes and goes is not constant. My mechanic at Frankston Toyota has described the noise as droaning noise from lhf wheel area and has replaced the left hand front bearing,but to no avail,as the the noise continues. The car is a 2003 Corolla Ascent hatchback.Any of you guys or girls got any other ideas what the noise?? Could the noise be coming from elsewhere and echoing through to the left front side?? Anyone else had a noise problem in a 2003 Corolla Hatchback??

Any ideas please email me at lauschie@hotmail.com

Kind Regards,

Lauschie

maybe is tyre noise., What's the noise like ?

Best way to describe the noise is probably to say it sounds like driving with a tyre with correct pressure on one side and a tyre with low pressure on the other side. Tyres have been checked for correct pressure and are correct. Could a drive shaft noise cut in and out at certain speeds and road conditions?? Any other bearings or joints/tie rods that could cause this?? Balancing seems right and feels right and so does alignment. Steering feels good too,could the power steering pump or any else related with this cause a noise that cuts in and out??

What probs have the guys had with the shocks and what speeds and road conditions did the noise(s) start at?? Was the noise constant or only in certain speeds and conditions??

shocks are blown due to aggresive driving and excessive drop in ride height using super low springs.

Mine is pretty much gone, relying almost on spring alone for dampening (yep, that's right folks, springs alone). But I dont get weird noises. THe only noises coming from that area is my tyre noise.

Gday Danz,

Shocks seem ok,car sits level and push test comes up ok too. My driving is not aggressive either.Had a thought could a centre bearing or drive shaft cause a irregular noises when driving on different types of roads and speeds?? Could a noise start at the back and move to the front??

Wheel bearing?

Had the left one replaced on Friday after two engineers thought that too. No luck.

Regards,

Lauschie

P.S Club Stickers how do we organise to get them??

Both left and right wheel bearings replaced now,noise still there. We now think it is the diff bearing to be replaced. Car had other tyres put on it and same noise still this would eliminate the possiblity of my tyres cause the noise.

Regards,

Lauschie

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      there are online catalogues available that you can type your vin number in and it will show your car, then you can find the correct part number. it is the only way to go when looking for uniquie or uncommon parts. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/vehicle?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwEWIjMeQU9MbFFuQ2JFQ05aen1jEh0QEQMFBkBlWQFNUQAaXyUmagcOAU1WABpfMidwEBZ5YWYREEpDXxQTEhYGCQBDHlFVBhQXGxcREgJRUQJHBxgBfn9nEU9APQliamV1Y2wCUVEJTUEAGRxYAAAAAL-x3O4%24&vid=0&q=AHT54ZEC307000605 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/corolla-runx/1-hatchback-right-e120-2001-3066/body-and-interior-3/mudguard-spoiler-298

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
