Follow up to Tires and clunking sounds
by dealerflorida on Sat Dec 14 21:00:38 PST 2002
Installed this past Friday: 4 new shocks/struts. In front I also replaced the "Support assembly" rubber insulators, and bumper springs. Ride is now stiff, I liked the softer ride prior to changing. Purchased OEM Bridgestone ER 33 tires, the ones that came with auto originally. Nice quiet ride, so far. For the clunking noise, which was supposed to be from suspension I could not find anything worn, or loose, I was unable to emulate the noise on lift. I decided to change the shims and springs in front calipers. This was a big suprise for me, the brakes perform 100% better, better pedal feel and noise is gone (Toyota "Fitting Kit" & "Shim kit anti squeal"). I also changed the oil pan seal as there was small leak & the "V" belt along with tensioner. The tensioner turned out to be some job as many parts and covers had to be removed to get tensioner off. Tires, parts, labor & alignment came to approx. $1500- (Tires alone are 150 ea. or 600- total). I now realize the wires, plugs caps and rotors are original so I might replace these parts next. Best regards Sheldon

I ordered 4 new struts today, and for the front the 2 Suspension supports as well as the spring bumbers and insulators. Also have 4 bridgestone Turanza's LS-T's coming. I will update the hall after install as to ride and sound. Sheldon
djr7399 Strut bars
by dealerflorida on Wed Nov 20 13:06:54 PST 2002
Thank you for advice, much appreciated! I just went into the shop manual and observed the strut bar. It is part of the lower assembly. I will have this checked. For the "plate", I do not see a component with this name in diagram? Could it be the "Suspension support"? Also should I change the "spring bumper & Insulator"? I have also felt a sort of bump steer, when auto goes over bumps at high rate of speed I feel a slight pull of the wheel and a quick self correction, I thought this was a characteristic of car, now I am thinking it is due to worn parts. Story goes like this. I want to keep car and maintain it properly. I have read in earlier posts that people have had to take new struts out and change the "Plates" (Or whatever they are called) and wish they new about this before the strut replacement was completed. I just want to do it right and do it once. As far as girl friend goes, I have a wife 10 years married we have a 13 month old girl. Thanks again & Best regards Sheldon
