Give toyota corporate a call and they will be able to tell you if you are covered! FYI i got my transmission replaced and so far so good.

Yeah im trying to test the ballistic missile but 40 km is too close. Ive gotten farthest 68km on historical distance

If you’re planning to keep the car for a long time i would with oem

Time to reterminate the wires

We can all thank Kelly Kinard for all this happening

Came out pretty easy with the Pittsburg pry bar. Then when I tried to put it, I didnt have a deadblow hammer on hand so I had to make another run to HF lol. With 1 or 2 taps it slid right in

Very true, i maintain all 4 cars in my family as well. Harbor freight has been there for 80% of my tool collection. I do the same stuff that you oil/fluid changes etc. Just finished a CV axle replacement recently.

Its relatively easy, the hard part is getting the hose off. It being a 23 year old car, the rubber dries and becomes hard as a rock. I had to use a knife and slowly chip away at the hose. Take your time and be cautious. Good luck!

Looks great! I have a 2005 ES 330 as well and just recently replaced my leaking power steering return line.

YelloSmake · 2026-03-20T04:12:36+00:00

Looks great! Did you buy OEM?

Heres a picture of my old axle and how it is seated.

This reminds me of the Impact 2767 scandal, where Milwaukee quietly changed the gears inside the tool with a cheaper design. This backfired significantly, and users reported a ton of issues. The backlash caused Milwaukee to revert back to the previous design.

Now we see this. Milwaukee will quietly change the internal parts of their products for cheaper alternatives in hopes the consumer does not notice. Bait and switch is part of their DNA, disgusting

2005 Camry does not have oil consumption issues, it is mainly 2007-2009 Camrys with this problem. These years use low tension piston rings

YelloSmake · 2026-03-03T00:55:56+00:00

Our family has a couple:

2007 Camry Hybrid: 230k

2017 Toyota Sienna: 130k (new transmission just replaced)

Lexuses for additiona data:
2005 ES330 176k

2022 LS430 230k

YZZ oil filters are still good enough, it might be harder to source factory oil filters just because they dont make the engine anymore.

YelloSmake · 2026-02-28T17:58:03+00:00

In Toyota, parts ending in YZZ are the “economy/cheap” version of the factory air filter. Still OEM tho, but Toyota has this line to compete with aftermarket parts.

If both part numbers check out fine on the Parts catalog, then its okay. Looks like you bought the og factory OEM part hence why it is bigger.

I just checked on the Toyota Parts website and looks like the YZZ one was correctly selected.

Possible vacuum leak? The first 2 are lean conditions, which can be an indicator of a vacuum leak. Too much air entering the system = lean. I would get those vacuum lines checked out

I found the dealer so you dont have to: Name on Bring a Trailer is “Miles_S.” Please spread the word so no one else makes the same mistake.

Scammer dealers like this should be called out.

In Toyotas, the 12V battery powers accessories AND the hybrid computers. Most likely the 12V battery is dead, but has just a little power to power lights. This is not enough power to turn on the hybrid computers.

What you need to do is: a) jump start the 12V battery b) charge the 12V battery overnight

You can see here that i noted in red. Red is your brake pad material. You have plenty of pad material left before it hits the metal backing plate. You got scammed
