  1. Recently I was in a situation where I needed to apply the brakes fairly hard to avoid hitting another car and I heard a knocking sound coming from the front-right side.

    As SecaBoy said... I would safely say this was more than likely to be your ABS. The ABS actuator makes quite a bit of noise itself and the noise and vibration can also travel through the brake lines. Since it is located on the right side of the car, this can make it more louder on this side of the car.

    To give you some education on the subject:

    HowStuffWorks "How Anti-Lock Brakes Work"

    Thanks, does the aurion have an ABS light?

  2. Hey guise,

    Recently I was in a situation where I needed to apply the brakes fairly hard to avoid hitting another car and I heard a knocking sound coming from the front-right side.

    My mate who was riding in my car at the time suggested that it might be my CV joint and I should take it straight to Toyota.

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem? or has possibly a different explanation?

    Cheers!

    Sounds like my rear sway bar has come loose. I was afraid it would do something like that. Problem is I need to find a way to tighten it up again. I work late shifts all week this week! :o haha.

    Also on a completely unrelated note, I had realised my boot has become a lake... The spare tyre well and the right hand pocket where the jack sits has got stagnent water in it. I haven't had to use the spare or jack fo months and only just noticed it tonight when I went to check up on the banging sound. *sigh* Now I need to get THAT looked into. haha not going well for me that's for sure!

    Believe it or not but I have had the same problem, mine mine was on the other opposite side. I needed a huge sponge to soak up all the pool of water.

  4. I reckon before any group buy for the trd kit, we get them to send us some pics of the kit parts. For example the rear bar below:

    Where did you get the pic by the way? JSPEC? Got any bigger pics or a reverse angle? The factory TRD bumper has the aluminium for the integrated exhaust sweeping down to meet up with the pipes coming from the muffler. The exhaust outlets sit lower that the holes in the bumper.

    As for different pics/angles.. i couldn't find any.. maybe you might have some luck?
