This morning on the way to work..

this noise started coming from my front left wheel..like the there is something rubbing every time the wheel does a rotation...it is not constant but happens once every rotation..

i pulled over and couldnt see anything wrong..so dorve back home and got my bros car to go to work...im thinking its another drive shaft problem..

i got it wheel aligned last week and they didnt spot anything wrong.

these coilovers have really screwed my car up lol....so all of you that are thinking of getting coilovers...

ok u get excellent handling....but **** me dead they screw up your car lol..

or it could be just the all the water from the rain drying up and making something stiff or something...i dont know.....fricken ****s me lol

Could just be some crap build up on your discs.... if you don't have water restirctions, hit them with a high pressure cleaner (Gerni or the like)....

I had a similar sounding noise once and it went after I blasted the discs with water when I washed the car....

did u have some new tyre put in, i once have this noise after i put some new rubber in with my older car, went back to the tyre place but they reckon some one didnt machined the brake disc.... but that wont be the case cause i didnt even touch the brakes!! maybe your tyre??

I dont know how this happened but the problem was that the silver part that goes under the the rings that hold the spring up was rubbing on the tyre...

lucky i turned back to go home or else i would of had one major problem on my hands....

ive moved it further in now so it doesnt rub...

**** these coilovers.....im thinking about going back to stock!!!

D2

D2's are sh*t simple as that.

gotta pay real money to get quality these days.

I think he got some dodgy 2nd hand ones :huh:

I got new D2's and had them fitted properly -> not a single problem ;)

What you pay is what you get, d2's seem to have alot of problems on installation, espically when the sway bar end links hitting the coil body, but once fitted right it is fine...

Reason why there is always probelms is the installer.. also because the d2's aint well designed for the car but mainly becasue installer wont check as long as its on everything else is not their problem.

And lowering ur car can damage ur cv boot. its not the D2 it happens with anything.

he bought em brand new in the group buy on the forums.

I believe installer has something to do with it, but they are a total b*tch to install.

Like I said, gotta spend real money to get quality

The actual coils were 2nd hand..i got brand new D2 shocks..

I dont think it is the installation either cos i have had them on since before xmas....

I think its just best to avoid pot holes and speed humps as much as possible when you coilovers..

the previous problem was the cv joint boot had split...and all the grease has come out...the cvs still make a bit of noise on full lock..

but this last problem is totally weird...im still trying to figure out how that silver thing managed to turn itself out and come into contact with the tyre..

i drove to work today and no problem...

i think you have the coilovers that were originally mine and if that is so your d2 are version 1 since i was the first in australia to have them in 2003. because i sold them to someone who got a set of new shocks.

the group buy that happened a few months ago members would have got version 2. version 2 is better designed.

      Aurion tyres

      I recently fitted Nexen Nfera Su1's and am very happy with ride & grip quality. These are supposed to be a mid range tyre. I couldn't find any in your size on tyroola, but they did have a set of 225/50/17 for $600 fitted (if your living in Melbourne) https://www.tyroola.com.au/nexen-n-fera-su1-xl-22550zr17-98w-ty66a1e88c5a.html Cant go wrong with the extra width 👍

      Aurion tyres

      I've used Kuhmo on my MGB for years and find them a good reliable, mid priced street tyre. Probably any tyre on your list will do, also Bridgestone. What tyres are on there now? Hherb

      Corolla Ascent Sport.: Model ZRE182R.C

      Hi Alan, My first reply, as I just joined up 🙂 I have a 2016 Corolla Ascent Sport Hatch with alloy wheels so I'm guessing yours would be the same. AFAIK don't think Toyota has the colour code for the alloys, think they're just a generic silver. Before my son got his licence a few months ago, he had scuffed the front and rear left alloys of my Corolla a bit while I was teaching him to drive. I found a silver touchup pen on Amazon for Alloy wheels, was pretty cheap for just under $10 and the colour is pretty much the same silver. Worked a treat. Maybe buy one and see if it matches the colour of your alloys. If it does you could get an auto paint store to match that colour. Just do a search for "alloy wheel touchup paint" on Amazon. See the screenshot I've provided. All the best mate.

      Just joined

      Thanks Robert! Too true, dad was devastated when the Aussie car manufacturing industry shut down. Sad as it is, I've been very happy with my Toyotas like yourself, they are just awesome work horses. Cheers mate, see you around 😀

      2016 Hilux SR5 Coolant Issues

      The first picture is what the initial mechanic in Port Augusta analyzed what was wrong with it. The next 3 photos shows what it did look like. The last photo is how it looks now repaired. I hope that helps you understand what has happened. From what I can tell from other forums is that there used to be an issue with the coolant leaking which probably led to this one being bypassed. Hence the issue as outlined in the first image. I was told by my mechanic yesterday that bypassing the coolant through the engine is illegal and should never have been passed for a roadworthy when I bought it back in April. It is an emissions issue and you don't touch that area. He said that if was presented with this ute in that condition, he would not have passed it for roadworthy. I have been in contact with the dealership that I bought it from and he is going to look into the mechanic who did the roadworthy and find out what is going on. I have said that I want to be re-imbursed for the repairs and being sold a faulty car, as well as that I nor he would want me to go to VCAT or Consumer Affairs about it. Are you aware of this issue?

      Son's First Car--98 Corolla Seca--Overfilled Oil--Cactus??

      Thanks so much for your advice. We checked the transmission dipstick (finally!) and it was empty! Yes old dad did a boneheaded move. My son then changed the oil and filled the transmission fluid on his cherry 98 Toyota Seca and the car sings! Thankfully our 100m test drive on no transmission fluid does not seem to have done any major harm. Cheers

      Son's First Car--98 Corolla Seca--Overfilled Oil--Cactus??

      Just to confirm, are we talking about engine oil or gearbox/transmission oil? The auto in these also has a dipstick in the engine bay, just want to make sure you're checking the right thing (especially since you're talking about it not shifting properly, which shouldn't be an issue with engine oil level if the car runs fine otherwise)
