None. I'm tempted though to try this one out "how to reset toyota abs light without scan tool", video here:

noted by a tech from a toyota service center: PASS OUTER CV BOOT - NEEDS AXLE basically you're saying that i shouldn't have replaced my axle specially the passenger side that's been noted as leaking for more than a year? and that the note from my last maintenance (Toyota service center) should...

will do. i just hope we did not damaged any of those uggh :no: i'll see if i can post some photos i took (after, with the wheels on)

nope..

nope. I disconnected the battery though for a few seconds when the lights did not turn off after driving >100miles. trac/slip button basically is not working

yeah it sucks, what seems to be an easy job creates another headache :blink: oh by the way, cost wise i paid $210 total. ~$10 for a quart of transmission fluid + $120 for both cv axles + $80 labor (note: not a shop just a house).

we're done replacing both 2 front cv axles using reman parts. both axles were replaced pretty quickly ~45mins then topped off the transmission fluid (bought from a nearby Toyota service center). catch is for some reason my ABS, VSC Off (blinking) and the slip indicator lights turned on and...

Yep axle shaft assembly it is :thumbsup: .. will make sure on Saturday that it is what will be replaced (driver & passenger side). I do hear clunky noises when doing left U-turns and also when turning to the right from the street to park on our driveway (driveway a bit elevated).

Appreciate the tips. Repairs are not yet done.. and he's a retired friends dad that used to work as a mechanic (not sure about he's actual job designation), repair cost is under negotiation coz if i ask him how much he wouldn't say how much since we know each other :) so looks like it's up to me...

Amidst Toyota recall news today, found this stated from a reuters column http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/09/us-toyota-motor-recall-idUSBREA380AR20140409 wonder if this grinding noise is part of the faulty engine starter?? OEM tires on my Corolla LE 2010 is Continental. I had mine...

I think they waited for my car to get out of warranty before noting the repairs needed on my axles. :thumbdown: I always have my car serviced at the same Toyota dealership. Yeah $781 is way up there.. I brought the car to a local mechanic, shown him the notes made by toyota repair tech and...

Gotcha. That was a quick reply. Just any info or guesstimates will surely help. I drive ~45miles one way to/fro work, location Los Angeles area and will not settle for crappy parts just trying to get more for my buck. Thanks for pointing out remanufactured parts.

Wow I hear that grinding noise once in a while on my 2010 Corolla LE too. It only happens in the morning. If there's a service bulletin on it will (Toyota) cover it even it's out of warranty? Car is regularly maintained at the same Toyota dealership we bought the car from.

This was indicated on my last maintenance service done at Toyota service center: PASS OUTER CV BOOT - NEEDS AXLE SEE HISTORY AND DRIVERS SIDE BOOT Prior to my last service these were the notes (not in order): 1] PASSENGER SIDE AXLE - price quote $781 2] PASSENGER FRONT AXLE OUTER BOOT IS...
