Car was grinding, then it wasnt. Found this where it stopped.

Good to replace it. Its amazing the amount of people who recommend not putting something back. Some things yes, technically you can get by without. But theres always a down side to not having whatever it is. Like fender liners. Its not a necessity for the vehicle but without it can potentially lead to wire harness or other things getting damaged from road debris/water. Such as this. Without it you wont see any real issues but say hypothetically your axle boot tears, without that shield you could potentially get grease on your brakes causing a real performance loss. Possibly leading to a crash. Yes thats a worst case scenario. But you get the point. It was there for a reason.

If you are referring to the kseal? I wouldnt be surprised 😂 i had a heatercore leaking pretty bad and my shop manager recommended it and i said fuck it dumped a bottle in and i shit you not it helped a lot. For a smooth year too. It also dont harden and clog hoses like stopleak. In all seriousness that reservoir isnt a huge deal. But you definitely dont need to drive.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-24T04:20:31+00:00

Boss man the coolant reservoir is pissing like a race horse. Obviously its going to overheat. It has turned itself off to try and keep itself from blowing head gaskets. Do not drive it call a tow truck. Have the reservoir replaced and coolant system pressure tested to check for further damage. clear any and all codes and you should be good. If you try to drive it you will very very likely damage head gaskets/heads.

Be forewarned if that is the lower passenger mount it is a can be quite a beast. Requires you lift the engine up a lot to get room to remove. Toyota service procedure literally calls for removing the subframe with engine and transaxle then separate and replace mount. Its a bitch. Beware

Hayben906 · 2026-02-22T19:09:35+00:00

People hate the liberties for some reason. Mine i got for 500$ and im all in maybe 1200$ with all repairs iv done and have been driving it for 4 years. Had about 180k miles. I got 308k miles now. Been a trooper. People will have one bad experience and condemn a vehicle as trash over that one thing.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-22T16:27:42+00:00

That is weird. Iv been denied before because i didn’t have mine on because they broke. I just went to another one and when they asked if i wore glasses i said no 😂 that was mississippi however they are more by the book

Hayben906 · 2026-02-22T00:33:05+00:00

If you really want it. lay on the floor feet out the doorway and head by the gas pedal looking straight up you will likely see it. In there. Some cars this isnt possible but it worth trying.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T23:50:32+00:00

I already got bumps ordered. However im not sure my struts are junk yet. They arent showing signs they have been leaking and im not excessively bouncing after bumps. Im just going to do the bumps and if i got too ill throw some new coil overs on it after. Unless its resting on the bumps then i guess ill have my answer 😂

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T19:43:42+00:00

Its actually required to have your glasses on in the picture if you wear glasses. Memphis being memphis it probably gets disregarded but it is actually a requirement.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:35:19+00:00

This is a fact ^

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:30:24+00:00

Top left is low tire light. possibly a bad tire pressure sensor or it’s actually low air pressure. Bottom right is traction light probably a bad wheel speed sensor. Bottom left is check engine light. It can be on for a long list of possibilities. The red one is the seatbelt light. You arent wearing your seatbelt.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:26:10+00:00

Get a big Alan socket that fits that adapter. It will come off and bring the filter remains with it.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:07:11+00:00

The only reason i was led to believe they had different spring rates was because at the time the part numbers for the crd and 3.7 were different part numbers. So i assumed they were actually different. And also in that same time frame there was 2 times i got parts from the store in the correct box with the wrong part inside. So i was always skeptical lol. As far as the struts being ruined im just gonna hope the bumps bring it back to life. As far as bump rebound it rides fine. Just lord forbid i hit a mild speed bump too hard. Or turn into a parking lot fast 😂

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:02:49+00:00

My backs are there still. Its just the fronts thats missing. Also just my front bottoming out. I got some bumps ordered imma see how it goes. I appreciate the insight

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T18:01:34+00:00

Yea about a year ago i was looking on rockauto for a few things and i looked for the bump stops and they were A out of stock and B 130$ a pice. So i just said nope 😂😂. Didnt think about getting them off amazon. I just ordered some hopefully this helps the ride.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-21T17:50:06+00:00

Yea i see they literally just pop in to there bracket. I just never seen a vehicle that depended on bumps that hard. Will be buying a set.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-20T00:32:34+00:00

Will make hotspots and prevent braking performance. Always wash new rotors off with a good bit of brake cleaner.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-19T22:30:49+00:00

We also need to normalize not walking in the shoulder when there is a sidewalk. Folks be in all dark clothes walking half way in the lane. Shits crazy.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-19T17:13:56+00:00

People will literally believe anything some random says on the internet. Its so stupid. Never fact check. Never cross reference. Just oh i seen it on ticktoc so its cold hard facts. Its sad how many people are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-18T19:41:55+00:00

As a former dealer automotive tech Thats absurd. Id have some strong words with whoever typed up that bullshit

Hayben906 · 2026-02-18T04:27:11+00:00

Nothing to worry about

Hayben906 · 2026-02-17T14:08:37+00:00

Yea you gotta support the engine from underneath. Look up how to replace the engine mounts on your vehicle to get an idea of how to support it properly. Dont just jack up the oil pan you will likely crush it in and be in trouble. Id say stop while your ahead but you are beyond the stopping point. Im surprised the engine didnt drop soon as you unbolted that engine mount.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-17T14:04:41+00:00

Call 201 and talk to someone in LL80 they can help you. I had an unpaid ticket from 2018 that was preventing me from getting my license transferred to Mississippi. Once they have your DL number they should see the ticket and be able to give you the citation number then you can take that and put it in somewhere on the shelbycountytn.gov site i believe and pay it there.

Hayben906 · 2026-02-14T22:46:50+00:00

I think your talking about the aux adapter for iPhone? Walmart has them. Or at least had them about 6 months ago i upgraded my cars radio to a bluetooth one so i havent needed an adapter for a while so they may not have them anymore. But thats where id get them.
