hello I am trying to find some low prices 14" OEM 1998 corolla wheels, I see rockauto has for 80~ each but trying to avoid that high price, although I suppose it isn't that bad. Any other suggestions? I tried craigslist nothing local. Maybe a wrecking yard but these cars are so old idk...

Just happened to see this, about oil change frequency, always change it sooner than the manual recommends, this is what I am getting at as with mileage on oil, the higher mileage the engine, requires sooner oil change frequency 12:55 look at the oil control rings, seized in the ring lands...

1998 Corolla is very old. This is from the manual Original oil change interval is around 5,000 miles. But there are special considerations for vehicles operating at low speeds extended periods or short trips for the original brand new vehicle. Additionally because these cars are now 25 years...

Actually the longer time duration the vehicle sits for a given mileage the more often the oil needs to change, especially if vehicle is used for short trips. Oil pulls water from air and especially while cold on a freshly started engine for the first 30-40 minutes most cars. It takes 30-40...

Well it turns out you can swap them directly with no wiring or shenanigans whatsoever. I simply pulled out the old cluster and plugged in the new cluster and wham done. I couldn't believe it. 5 minutes of labor. I almost cried how easy it was. Toyota ftw My car is a 98 without a tach for...

I'm sorry nobody really answer this for so long. But its a good question and I happen to have an answer. First, Keep using synthetic, the uniform oil molecules are a key to maintaining reliability and preventing wear. The Weight of the oil is based on climate and bearing clearance. The owners...

Hello the cluster in my 1998 corolla randomly stops working, the odo goes dark and the speedo stops working. I plan to replace with a similar year 98 corolla (or around that year) cluster but the new one has a tach and the old one does not. I am handy with wiring but I lack the manual and...

Hello, quick Q the iacv in my 98 corolla I kinda want to change. however I see two different kinds, and I am not sure why, rockauto sells one with 3 huge tubes on it, very expensive And on ebay I see this, without the 3 tubes, very cheap...

Update: pretty sure the noise is NOT the tires in the front. Maybe "rub rub rub" isnt a good description. its more of a "scrape scrape scrape" or kind of ALMOST a "crunch crunch crunch" (but not really a crunch). Like almost a wheel bearing type noise. Can an axle cause that? Or something...

I took a screen shot to post up and ask what it means Where it says "with performance suspension" in rockauto but it wont let me post links. So can somebody check rockauto, go into the 99 corolla section and look up STRUTS, see the cheapest struts at the top of the list? There are 2 fronts that...

I am def. going to swap tires pretty soon just to eliminate that as a cause. Shocks from JY seems like a crazy idea since they are probably the same age and wear as the ones already on my car though. Rockauto has new shocks for like $50 or so, it isn't bad I might just change em. I wonder if...

I need a pair of 98-02 corolla door panels if anyoe has them, please email me my email is my user name at aol

This is my first FWD vehicle, and first Toyota, so I would love some help please :D First cosmetic issue, I notice many of the corollas from this year have poor door panels. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go search a local junkyard, or if you guys had some special secret to...
