  1. Hello i will answer my question yes they have the same handbrake setup as camry, as my idiot mate lives in kambalda i found out the bang was the motor going yes he votes labor labored his car to death.

  2. As you should know Avalon have a foot operated hand brake yes the idiot left it on and drove a long way untill it went bang The question is have they the same set up as a camry hand brake, eg the hand brake shoes in the center of the rear disc.

  3. I'd be looking at the vacuum booster or the check valve on the booster. BTW, I recommend you take your car to a shop for bleeding ABS system. It's not really feasible for an individual. Squirt soapy water on the brake lines when the car is running in park and with the brakes applied. If you see any bubbles, you will have a leak and need to fix the leak.

    Yes sounds like a booster problem check your vacum line for leaks and the valve good luck and let us know if you find the fault cheers.

  4. Thicker sway bars do help. Made a big difference on my car, in terms of handling.

    I have also changed the shocks and lower spring. This made the ride stiffer. Is it better? I do not know as it made me a slower driver on the road :clap::clap::clap:

    Hope this helps.

    Patience is not something everyone have.

    Was your rear bar 17mm this is what i want to know is it worth going to a 20mm rear bar because rear bars go 14mm and up cheers

  5. Is there a chance of you taking a photo (and posting it) of what you're describing?

    No its in a tight spot, i found some images on google and it is descibed as a water seal plate the funny thing is i ordered one from toyota and the thing has stoped leaking.

    No it started leaking again so i ordered the plate but Toyota had no picture of a gasket behind it, when i took it off it had a o ring, this had not been touched since new the nuts were unmarked weird so i put more silastic on it and no leak, by the way i am a mechanic even google pictures show no o ring????
