Hey there, had my coilovers fitted and everything was alrite. Took it to Bob Jane T so they can do w/a for me. After I came to pick up my car, I showed up on closing time coz i was at work. Anyway when i start the car and start to drive, whenever I used the breaks there was some wierd klonky noise coming from the LHF wheel, sounded like the breaks were loose or something. It was breaking fine and no strange feelings under my foot either so just the noise. Got home jacked the car up checked under the guard everything was looking good. I just shook the disk a bit put the wheel back on went for another drive and no more noise. So strange i m just wondering what could of make that noise :(. was scary. And yeah my wheel alligment is crap too its pulling to the left so bad.

Could've been a caliper slide not sliding properly, rock stuck in between the caliper and disc, backing plate rubbing against the disc, stick rubbing or anything like that...

As long as the brakes work, and there is nothing loose you will be fine...

I wouldn't worry about taking it back unless the noise re-occurs...

OK took my car back to BOB Jane T SHlT mart and they didnt even want to see my car again LOL. Coz they are coilovers and they need to be balanced to get w/a on the setting. Anyway went off at them, went to see what will Pedders say. They took my car to check if they can touch the camber coz its -3 according to BOB lol and they cant even put my car on w/a machine coz my car is too low and lasers are hitting the bumber lol. Then i went fulcrum suspension booked it next friday morning when i have a day off they said it wont be a problem. They will try fix my camber to lowest point they can and if they cant they will put some pin. When i told them about previous services they loughed. Guy goes your car is low but not to low stupid Pedders and their 100 year old machine.

Noise came back again during drive to fulcrum, but i slammed the breaks a bit and it stopped. I m still wondering what could that be. I was thinking coz camber is so off maybe disc and breaks are not connecting properly or something from time to time.

Hey,

Your car looked damn good the other day.... i thought your camber was crazy... got some V8 supercar camber... hehehehehe.

Possibly the noise is one of the wheel balance weights coming loose.... Don't know.

Give them hell anyway... :)

Peter.

      Centre Bearing Replacement

      Hey, Ive installed a new centre bearing on my 2000 model 2.7ltr Hilux. I replaced it due to a shuttering feeling coming from the drive shaft. After I replaced it I could smell the rubber burning and the shutter came back. Looked at the bearing and it has way too much play in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

      Wheels and tyres combos for various terrain

      I have run into same issue as previous post. Limited replacement choice for 245/60R18's on a stock 2019 GXL Kluger. Does anyone know if you can fit 255 on the stock rim instead. There is a much better choice in that tyre size. I have mailed a couple of Tyre places as well but no reply which makes me think that it is not legal.

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi all, Finally got around to modifying the fascia kit. Not super happy about it - basically a hugely overpriced piece of plastic for what I thought would've been designed for RHD and is literally the cheaper brand I was going to originally buy (for LHD Highlander), might as well have bought it from Amazon or the like. The fit is off in relevance to the centre air vents. I might try a MkII version and modify a factory radio fascia if it really gets to me. I digress... Let's start with removal of the screen from the head unit. I love that this Pioneer radio has a separable screen for custom installations. Here is the Aerpro fascia after trimming. I should've just bought the Metra version if I knew that they were the same. The part behind the fascia kit is a bezel that I designed and printed to suit. I also ended up rerouting the microphone next to the clock as I couldn't find a solution to make the factory microphone play nice with the aftermarket radio - I trimmed away the mounting lug & drilled a hole to suit in the trim bezel, so far it's the only original Toyota part that needed to be modified, still holds securely and the mic is tucked away as much as possible. No negative difference in call quality so far either. There is still much clean up to do but was keen to see how it looks like fitted so please excuse all the epoxy. Hopefully I will get it finished soon; it should look close to OEM as possible when I'm finished. Next will be to install an amplifier I have lying around, new speakers and subwoofer and finally have a stereo with some form of depth and quality.

      Flashing 4WD Lo and VSC and Engine warning lights

      Not ideal where you are but I would ry a couple of things: Either disconnect the batteries (both) and leave for a good 10 mins - enough time for all electrics to discharge.. Another one which worked for me was to disconnect the ECU - big plug on the passenger side firewall. Same thing, allow for electrics/electronics to discharge. Not practical for you at this stage but if you can get a Scangauge. This will allow you to clear the codes. Car has gone in limp mode. I had this problem several times whilst towing a caravan due to a performance chip which would cause a limp mode. No more as I have had the ECU remapped.
