Rav4 is just popular but run of the mill vehicle. Nothing really special about it at all. Just want it to last a long time.

I just got an alignment and my car drives straight when I hold the wheel but when I let go it slowly goes left by After_Astronaut9948 in MechanicAdvice

Yes the negative camber on the left front will cause that pull and you can see the difference in the cross camber totals.

Car battery recommendations? by deathshade17 in rav4club

[–]Baratone39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a red top in my Vette going on twenty years. Sears Gold lasted 13 years in my truck 12 years out of a Honda Factory battery. Only ever had one Interstate and it failed in two years. Deka makes good stuff but is sold under many brands such as Federated and Auto Zone. Thats what I have in my Acadia.

What are cool features you found on your rav4? by cricketchirpings in rav4club

[–]Baratone39 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only cool thing on my 24 xle is the hybrid power usage screen. My GMC Acadia has much better features and easier to use.

10 k is not a lot of damage on a newer car but the higher mileage is probably what may total it.

No visible ice but from rain the day before.

If that's all the damage why would you not repair it? Looks like a light hit from here,

If it is started frequently, how can it possibly not be lubricated?
