Hi guys.

Im new to this site and recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion 3500SL. I wanted to know if I can buy new centre wheel/rim caps for my TRD. The ones on there now are loose and instead of spending time fixing them I would rather buy new ones if possible. Ive searched around online and found nothing, could you please help.

Thanks

Mine were loose from the showroom floor. New ones will have the same issue. Found using a small piece of double sided tape works a treat and holds them in alignment with the wheel. Just a small bit on the side and when you push the cap on, it won't rotate. Can't see it either. :)

Yeah I might try that, I was going to try some sikaflex and make a couple of blobs for like a seat for it to sit into. But your idea sounds easier. Thanks for help

p.s do you know how thick the double side tape needs to be?

There was a recall through Toyota with an issue with the centre hub caps, breaking when being removed about 18 months ago i think. Toyota replaced all my centre hub caps for free as part of the recall. If you have to buy them through Toyota, be warned that they are about $80-$90 each. Ring another Toyota dealer, they should be able to order them in for you.

Yeah I too had the recall, was a quick fix but they still start to rotate after a while. Just any double sided tape . If fits to thin, just fold it over a few times to thicken it up just enough to wedge it in. Don't use sikaflex as a seat. When taking the caps off again you will get fractures in the centre cap.

They gave me new rings and when i asked is this the recall they said yes. I placed the new rings inside and now the caps never spin, they're like glued,

The only difference between the new and old rings was they were welded together as a one piece. Had this recall too, fixed it for 3 months and started to spin again.

      FUSE BOXES ALLOCATION - 1996 SUPER CUSTOM Model (Import)

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
