I just converted this VHS tape and uploaded it. I have never seen this video on the internet before. Its for the 2nd gen Toyota Soarer, which is a cousin of the Mk3 Toyota Supra.
Recently I have been having thud noises from my aftermarket arb links so looking to replace them. I stupidly threw away the oem ones.
1. Were the oem ones plastic for both front and rear?
2. What are the correct lengths for the front and rear? Is the rear shorter than front ?
Rock auto is...
I went for an alignment today . I got all 4 wheels -1 camber, and thrust angle at 0, with 4mm rear toe in and 2mm front toe in. However the shop couldnt get the caster close to each other. After adjustment, they got 8 degree on the left and 6 degree on the right. They showed me my lower arm...
On the Mk3, there is a trans mount with a combined steel and rubber mount, with a big bolt in the middle. How do you tell that this mount is bad ? What does this large bolt in the middle do ?
I was reading a forum for the BMW Z3, and came across this interesting statement from this guy.
Does the mk3 rear subframe bushing work the same way? I noticed that the subframe and bushing had a gap when the car was lifted on a lift. Some people say this means the bushing is bad but I am not...
Here is a translated article from Motor Fan Japan on an experimental 2 stroke engine using the 7M block and a 4 cyl diesel block. The diesel version was installed in a Z20 Toyota Soarer, which is related to a Mk3 Supra.
I will be getting my used OEM LSD soon, so I will be working on it. Since this will be my first time working on such a diff, I have several questions.
1. I heard some people mentioning about removing the side shims installed by the factory that goes between carrier and side gear. Is this a must...
So I was looking at the mk4 subframe and how the diff is secured, and found that it is very similar to BMW way of doing things.
On the Mk4, there are two horizontal bushings that go on the diff that attach to the subframe. This allows the diff to move up and down a little . The Prop shaft also...
Its cool, looks like they listened to me, I requested for the bushings on front and rear arms. Maybe a whole bunch of guys asked for it too. So how was your experience ordering these? Did your local dealer jack up the price ?
So most of you guys know my story last year, about my diff and steering centering. Well I finally settled my steering rack centering and got a full alignment and tire balancing and the car is going straight now. However, since I thought the car is ok now, I opened up the throttle and went up to...
So the rebuild by the so called pro did not go well, idiot re used crush sleeve and it made a terrible hum on accel and decel. He took diff apart again and cut down on one of the side shims, and while this has dramatically reduced the hum on accel, the decel hum is still noticable. He will have...
While looking at the TSRM, I noticed it says we need to level the suspension arm before removing and installing the CV joint.
What is the reason for this ? Also I made the mistake of not making a mark on the CV joint to the differential side gear flange when I removed the diff. Is this really a...
So recently I swapped my front subframe bushings and had to remove the steering rack. When i put it back on the steering wheel was towards the right when the car is going straight. So i removed the steering wheel and turned it one notch on the spline, and its just a tiny bit to the right. I got...
Regarding these steps, do these need to be torqued with the car at rest with the wheels on, because the TSRM does not show it.
If we can torque with the wheels off, how exactly do the bushing eyelets work? They don't actually grab on to the knuckles?
I am in the midst of installing the rear RonnieK subframe bushings and found something odd.
The thickness of the rear 2 bushing mounts vs the 4 front bushing mounts are very different.
The front 4
and the rear 2
If the subframe thickness is not the same , why are all the 6 bushings the same...
