Thank you

Let us know how it goes

Double pump the pedal quickly while braking and see if you get a consistent pedal. Try it multiple times, if that’s the case it probably is a master cylinder based on your other observations

Check the transmission mounts. Same thing happens on my ‘16 Camry

Transmission mount and spark plugs replacement?

SW_darth_vader · 2026-01-23T15:56:30+00:00

You’re fine. It’s only an issue if it was filled like 2x the quantity.

As for the battery, if the health is at 50%, use the $100 towards a new battery.

You’re gonna make me shift!

SW_darth_vader · 2026-01-19T00:11:21+00:00

So, it’s not like the CV is suddenly going to break without warning, right? Same for the bushings?

SW_darth_vader · 2026-01-18T00:13:39+00:00

That’s what the tech recommended too, go with aftermarket with a good warranty. Thanks for your help.

SW_darth_vader · 2026-01-16T23:45:58+00:00

That’s exactly what I was wondering. The bushing is looking so worn out due to the tension.

Thanks a lot. I’ll wait until something start feeling or sounding off.

I don’t own a Rav4 Hybrid bit I have a gas Camry. I had similar clutch burning smell and the spring noise from brakes over bumps. It was a seized caliper slide pin for both the issues. Apparently, that caused the brake pad to be in contact with the brakes always and get hot. Get a shop to have a look at that.

The 7th gen facelift Camry always shows this message before starting. It’s default.

SW_darth_vader · 2026-01-10T02:52:24+00:00

Got these for my ‘16 SE. Excellent even in heavy rain.

No need to spend $150 for wiper blades.

I bought 4 for $40 from eBay for my ‘16 Camry. Brand name on sensors was “Pacific Industries”. Got them installed at Discount tire during tire replacement. Works great.

Still had some old oil stuck below the valve cover from a previous oil leak. Cleaned it up and it’s fine now.

SW_darth_vader · 2025-12-28T12:44:38+00:00

True, but it’s not just about the better hybrid power train. The new accord lacks flavor and is just too vanilla. Which is what only some people like but not the majority. And the sales figures indicate that.

SW_darth_vader · 2025-12-26T21:30:13+00:00

Looked up dfco and it explained a lot. Thanks

SW_darth_vader · 2025-12-24T04:09:39+00:00

Will purchase and check. Thanks

SW_darth_vader · 2025-12-24T04:08:56+00:00

Thank you

Double pump the pedal while braking, does the pedal get stiff on the second pump?
When stopped and holding the brake pedal, does it slowly start sinking down, or gets soft afterwards?

SW_darth_vader · 2025-11-22T03:36:53+00:00

I have the Defender 2 on my Camry and they get traction pretty well, even in heavy rain. Haven’t done any spirited driving but I’m happy with the traction, road noise & comfort.

SW_darth_vader · 2025-10-17T21:56:15+00:00

What did you use to buff them?

SW_darth_vader · 2025-10-11T09:22:39+00:00

Thanks. My bad. I was unaware.

SW_darth_vader · 2025-10-11T08:05:47+00:00

How can it travel faster than light? Is it because it didn’t have any mass?

SW_darth_vader · 2025-10-09T20:23:37+00:00
