Hi all,

I'm getting a softish croak sound coming from the LHS front vicinity of the car.

Its vaguely periodic (but not as regular as if there were some thing to do with the rotation of the tyre) and happens more often when i'm on a bit of bumpy road.

I'm worried that the ppl that installed my springs didn't sit it good, but then again i sent it back to them for the alignment a week after the install and they said all was good.

What may it be?

im getting my car lowered at suspension city 2morro or thursday, i hope i dont get the same problem =P

My car has so much air resistance underneath after new wheels that is sounds like a 4x4. Damn falken tyres :P

tried taking off the wheel and taking a thorough look? maybe rocks and stuff in your tyres causing friction noises =P

or some rocks and stuff got onto you chasis somewhere in that area. But i doubt that would be the case.

Else my guess would be something along the lines with bearings but thats going way... wayyyy.... tooo far.

Go to pedders or something and get a suspension safety check (29 bux i think) if you suspect its a suspension problem

Crap, i spent just hours ripping out everything thats possibly rattling on that side of the car.

And after no air box, no resonator box no nothing. Still the noise comes back...

Hope its not the sussy... i'm too poor atm for that kind of major mod.

woah lucky u.. i just found out the reason why my wheels were making so much noise, the cv's were stuck on the hub instead of the actual wheel. :blink: causing a grinding plastic/metal sound.

removed some of my cv's =P and has lowered the noise conciderably. CV's r useless -_-

CV is the plastic/metal/rubber ring placed on your "aftermarket" wheels for them to personally fit your car. Different makes require different sizes to fit.

do not mistake them for the joint/bolts

I used a flat head screw driver and chizelled them out off the hub. :rolleyes:

It's called a hub ring mate. :blink: The only thing I've ever heard called a CV is exactly that; A CV joint aka driveshaft or to be technical a constant velocity joint.

By taking off your "CV's" you are prolly now likely to experience balancing problems with your wheels. ;)

hehehe, I was pretty sure you had NFI what a CV was... Silva's right, the thing you're talking about is the locator ring.

if you took out the CV it would look more like this:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
